<p>We report accomplishments by institution and group member.</p><br /> <p><strong>Iowa State, J. Arbuckle</strong></p><br /> <p><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Activities: Survey research through three major survey efforts: the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll (IFRLP) farmer survey, the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy (INRS) farmer survey, and the inaugural Conservation Practitioner Poll (CPP) survey of Upper Mississippi River Basin soil and water conservation professionals. The two surveys of farmers have generated research-based information on farmers perspectives and behaviors relevant to nutrient loss reduction, including changes in awareness and/or use of soil and water conservation practices. Several extension reports and presentations on farmer perspectives on ongoing barriers to soil and water conservation in Iowa, conservation practice adoption motivations, conservation expenditures, and climate change and agriculture were used by stakeholders to inform their work with farmers. The results of the CPP have been disseminated through a technical report and multiple targeted presentations (e.g., Soil and Water Conservation Society Annual Meeting; Iowa Watershed Academy).<br /><br />Outputs: In 2021-22, I published 14 journal articles and seven extension and technical reports, and gave two major national invited presentations, seven academic conference presentations, and four presentations to extension stakeholder groups.<br /><br />Short-term Outcomes: Data from the IFRLP and INRS surveys have been used by multiple stakeholders to inform their outreach with their farmer audiences. For example, stakeholders Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) both indicated that the data analysis from the surveys has helped inform their work with farmers. On receiving a project report, Maggie Norton, PFI Farmer Outreach Coordinator, stated, “I’m glad we were able to collaborate on this market research project. I know I learned a lot from the research questions and the general process. Similarly, Paige Frautschy, TNC Iowa Agriculture Program Director, shared her thoughts about data analysis that Dr. Arbuckle provided to TNC: “…the analysis of the results was really informative and will be useful as we plan for the future of the 4R Plus initiative.” In summary, the research resulted in improved stakeholder capacity to pursue their programs that help farmers to increase resilience while decreasing negative environmental impacts. The results of the CPP have had similar impacts as the PIs have received major props for the CPP from key stakeholders. For example, a major input supplier that also provides significant levels of conservation assistance to farmers expressed the following, “The Conservation Practitioner Poll you conducted was awesome – great info in there!”</span></p><br /> <p><strong><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Penn State, Wes Eaton</span></span></strong></p><br /> <p><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Completed Advancing Scholarship and Practice of Stakeholder Engagement in Working Landscapes project https://scholarsphere.psu.edu/resources/d6066f7e-045c-41f7-af69-9cc15e1e81f3. <br /><br />Short-term outcomes: Established new network of over 160 international researchers and practitioners interested in stakeholder engagement and working landscapes<br /><br />Outputs: Developed workshop report including a new research agenda for stakeholder engagement; in progess special issue with Socio-Ecological Practice Research with 20 accepted or in progress articles<br /><br />Activities: Workshop on the project during IASNR in Costa Rica summer 2022</span></span></p><br /> <p><strong>Utah State, Jessica Ulrich-Schad</strong></p><br /> <p>Output: co-created white papers to share survey findings back with farmers who we asked to take our survey (we sent a postcard to everyone in our sample, even non-respondents) (https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/sdfarmsurvey/)</p><br /> <p>Milestone: have 15-16 farms in Utah signed up to take part in on-farm soil health trials where they will be implementing various practices, documenting changes, measuring attitudes, and examining management over the five year project; started conducting year 1 interviews with participants</p><br /> <p>Output: five peer-reviewed publications on social and economic drivers of various conservation practices among agricultural producers in South Dakota</p><br /> <p>Output: led collective effort to document and assess various sampling sources for survey research with agricultural producers in the U.S. which led to the publication of a research note</p><br /> <p>Output: conducted literature review and published paper on non-operating agricultural and absentee forest landowners in the U.S. and Europe</p><br /> <p>Milestone and output: conducted online and mail probability sample survey (N=2400)of Chesapeake Bay Watershed farmers on agricultural producers' perceptions of causes of water quality issues, how to address water quality issues, and the future of agriculture in urbanized areas (including their knowledge and intention to continue using various Best Management Practices (BMPs)), their views and perceptions of Nutrient Management Plans, views on how agriculture can be sustainable in an urbanized landscape, their views and concerns about the loss of agricultural land, and attitudes about the urbanization of agriculture in the CBW including scenarios developed by the Thriving Agriculture research team (https://thrivingag.org/) to ensure agriculture is economically viable and environmentally sustainable in the future</p><br /> <p><strong><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Montana State, Sarah Church</span></span></strong></p><br /> <p><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Activity and output: Completed a USGS 104b grant that entailed a two phase Delphi survey to understand aquatic systems experts’ perceptions of social and cultural ecosystem services in land management. The surveys also asked experts questions regarding adaptive management and the intersection of land and water management. We generated two reports that are posted online and will be speaking at meetings and conferences this year. Co-PI William Kliendl presented a poster about our work at the Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting in May 2022. Sarah Church will present our work at the Annual Soil and Water Conservation Society meeting in July 2022.<br /><br />Activity and output: Completed an evaluation of the Big Sky Watershed Corps, in which we explored the role of Corps members in host-site capacity building and more broadly whether and how adaptive management is happening in Montana. We generated four reports and a fact sheet that are posted online and will be speaking at meetings and conferences this year. Ashlie Gilbert spoke about this work at the 2021 Virtual American Water Resources Association Conference in November and International Association for Society and Natural Resources Conference in June 2022.<br /><br />Activity and output: Completed year one of another USGS 104b grant looking at volunteer water monitoring programs in Montana. We sought to understand the role of these programs in building trust in science and data. As part of this project, we developed a standardized online survey for programs to distribute to their volunteers every year – Church will administer the survey and analyze and distribute the data to the programs. Church presented this work at the International Association for Society and Natural Resources Conference in June 2022. Liam Bean presented the work for a North Central Climate Collaborative webinar in June 2022.<br /><br />Activity: Began research to understand the role of social learning in interdisciplinary research collaborations in an NSF EPSCoR project that is working in three watersheds in Montana. <br /><br />Activity: Submitted two interdisciplinary grants.

Wild rice is an aquatic annual plant that serves as an ecological and cultural indicator of community health. Our research collaborative aims to put tribal perspectives and research questions first. My role has been to coordinate interviews with project personnel and tribal partners to evaluate our work together and to explore the integration of different ways of knowing. I also conducted a survey with Lac du Flambeau tribe community members in partnership with the Lac du Flambeau wild rice restoration program on the cultural values of wild rice and harvesting practices. Our research team has analyzed the interviews for formative evaluation to guide our work and further analysis is ongoing. We continued to examine different ways of knowing and being related to water and how cultural worldviews and practices relate to water conditions, stewardship, and policy. My center and research lab adapted existing and developed new interview guides and survey instruments to document and assess the influence of values, norms and beliefs on environmental behavior (public and private-sphere behavior), including harvesting practices. </span></span></span></p><br /> <p><strong><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">University of Idaho, Chloe Wardropper</span></span></span></strong></p><br /> <p><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Activity: Conducted survey with MS student (manuscript in prep) related to PNW residents' perception of risks related to metal contamination in drinking water; </span></span></span></span></p><br /> <p><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Output: Guest editor of special issue in Journal of Hydrology on decision-support systems for water resources</span></span></span></span></p><br /> <p><strong>The Ohio State University, Doug Jackson-Smith</strong></p><br /> <p><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Outputs: Variety of multimedia resources to share results of statewide Ohio Farm Poll with extension audiences (https://senr.osu.edu/ohiofarmpoll); includes podcasts (https://ofbf.org/2021/05/24/ohio-weekly-ohio-farm-poll/; and https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-73-ohio-farm-poll/id1385727972?i=1000519043624), videos (https://kx.osu.edu/video/exploring-the-ohio-farm-poll), and report (https://kx-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/2021-04/KX_OFP_OnePager_4-20-21.pdf). <br />Activity: Conducted stakeholder engagement and participatory modeling activities as part of NSF-funded project to develop and simulate impacts of Deglobalization on food-energy-water system in eastern Great Lakes region.<br />Activity: Recruited 32 farmers and initiated fieldwork as part of USDA-AFRI IDEAS research project exploring the economic and environmental tradeoffs associated with different approaches to integrating crops and livestock in Ohio.<br />Activity: Developed public database for county-level FEWS systems as part of SESYNC pursuit led by R.

- Davenport: A primary outcome under this work has been strengthened university-tribal relationships, the development of models for collaborative and community-centered research, the support of tribal sovereignty and focus on community needs. Interest groups who participated in my research and are served by science-based knowledge generated include agricultural producers; rural residents across the Midwest; urban residents in the Twin Cities, Duluth and St. Cloud metro areas including culturally diverse Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities; educators and extension agents; university researchers; land use planners; elected officials and local unit of government staff. Water managers at the state, county and district level have applied findings from our research to design public engagement programs, guide planning processes, and evaluate progress toward clean water goals. We also continued to practice responsible and respectful research protocol with tribal partners.

For example, following a presentation about farmer perspectives on soil and water conservation practice adoption, an organizer of a forum on drainage water management exclaimed, “Thank you so much for that presentation! It gave me so much to think about. That intention box on the model, and the comment of farmers intend to install a practice then life happens before it gets done is something I want to spend time thinking about how our delivery models can improve. How do we give the control there that will lead to adoption?” This suggests that information shared led to changes in awareness and knowledge, which may in turn lead to behavior changes.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Pre- and post-assessment found the Nebraska Water Leaders Academy is producing catalysts of change in water issues at local, state, regional, national, and international levels.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> A mixed-methods study demonstrated curiosity and being a champion of innovation are strong predictors of transformational environmental leaders.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> A mixed-methods study found that stakeholders perceive agencies involved in river management to be trustworthy, competent, and to share a vision for the resource despite not generally being familiar with the agencies. Findings suggest agencies and groups involved in river management prioritize developing stronger relationships with agricultural producers to improve on these foundational conditions.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> A qualitative case study examining evidence for how boundary spanning skills are implemented in the context of stakeholder engagement for addressing water challenges in agricultural settings found that some boundary spanning skills were exhibited more than others, and their frequency of use varied throughout the engagement process, and certain skills were used interchangeably.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Improved understanding of the barriers among marginalized farmers to adoption of conservation practices.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Improved understanding of strategies to better engage marginalized members of the farming community</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Improved understanding of strategies to reach out to retailers and crop advisors about encouraging and implementing conservation practices</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Improved understanding of the social aspects of edge of field and ditch monitoring to measure progress toward conservation</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Improved discussion of subsurface drainage management.</span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Urban and rural water values research informed strategic planning and programs of several organizations including the Minnesota Department of Health, Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Council, Minnesota Well Owners Organization, and the private well owners</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></li><br /> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> Research on human relationships to wild rice, an aquatic plant and sacred relative to the Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples, continues to document and uplift cultural stories.

- • Data from the IFRLP and INRS surveys as well as syntheses of data from other research, disseminated through journal articles, extension reported, and extension presentations, have been used by multiple stakeholders to inform their outreach with their farmer audiences. For example, following a presentation about farmer perspectives on soil and water conservation practice adoption, an organizer of a forum on drainage water management exclaimed, “Thank you so much for that presentation! It gave me so much to think about. That intention box on the model, and the comment of farmers intend to install a practice then life happens before it gets done is something I want to spend time thinking about how our delivery models can improve. How do we give the control there that will lead to adoption?” This suggests that information shared led to changes in awareness and knowledge, which may in turn lead to behavior changes.

Accomplishments
<p><strong>Short-Term Outcomes</strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>As part of a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) On-Farm Conservation Innovation Grant, 15 producers continue to participate in the Utah Soil Health Network On-Farm Soil Health Demonstration Project (‘trial’) to represent the geographic and agricultural diversity of the state of Utah. For participating they are receiving annual incentive payments, and are expected to keep records, maintain test plots, and implement various practices on their farm/ranch. Each program participant will have on-farm/ranch trials implemented (e.g., cover crops, no-till, and integrated grazing along with conventional strips) from which soil, crop, and water samples will be drawn. Participants are also working with soil planners, USU Extension agents, and crop advisors to develop a soil health plan for the five-year project and technical assistance will be provided throughout. Each year my team is either interviewing or surveying trial participants on their experience with the project and implementing the various soil health practices.</li><br /> <li>Data from the IFRLP and INRS surveys as well as syntheses of data from other research, disseminated through journal articles, extension reported, and extension presentations, have been used by multiple stakeholders to inform their outreach with their farmer audiences.</li><br /> <li>An on-going program evaluation of the Nebraska Water Leaders Academy shows that Academy alumni have emerged as leaders in their communities and with the knowledge and skills to drive innovative approaches to water management in Nebraska.</li><br /> <li>Greater landowner contacts with conservation professionals to support land management decision making.</li><br /> <li>Improved data on farmer adoption of conservation practices from 2023 Ohio Farm Poll used to benchmark and inform state agency and nonprofit conservation programs targeting key Ohio farmer constituencies. Led to more efficient implementation of programs.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p><strong>Outputs (Products delivered by research: reports, data, information, observations, publications, patents)</strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Burbach, M.: The Pre/Post assessment of the Nebraska Water Leaders Academy showed that participants’ leadership skills increased significantly over the course of the year, according to both the participants and their raters. Alumni have gone on to be a Special Advisor to the Secretary of the USDA, the State Executive Director of the USDA for Nebraska, Assistant State Conservationist (USDA) for Nebraska, NRD General Managers, NRD Assistant General Managers, Irrigation District General Managers, and city council members, among others.</li><br /> <li>Bjorklund, E., MSc Earth Sciences (graduated 2024): Rethinking Water Conflict and Cooperation: A re-analysis of interviews in Montana and an example study from the Big Hole River Watershed</li><br /> <li>Fochesatto, A., A.R.

The two surveys of farmers have generated research-based information on farmers perspectives and behaviors relevant to nutrient loss reduction, including changes in awareness and/or use of soil and water conservation practices. Several extension reports and presentations on farmer perspectives on ongoing barriers to soil and water conservation in Iowa, conservation practice adoption motivations, conservation expenditures, and climate change and agriculture have been used by stakeholders to inform their work with farmers.</li><br /> <li>Wardropper: 1. Conducted interviews with 40 farmers and policy actors to understand the opportunities for agroforestry expansion in Illinois. 2. Conducted interviews with 30 farmers to understand perspectives on carbon markets. 3. In process conducting interviews with demonstration farm leaders in Wisconsin to assess the effects of demo farm networks on conservation adoption. 4.

I am part of a team working on a NOAA grant that entails exploring how government land managers and decision-makers conceptualize ecological drought, what tools they use to monitor ecological drought, and whether/how they use local knowledge in decision making. In the past year, we conducted a survey, and we are planning focus groups to occur in 2025. Tonya Haigh, also in NC1190, is part of this team. 2. I am part of a team that completed work on a California Department of Food and Agriculture evaluation of their climate-smart agriculture programs including benefits and challenges of the program, and practice adoption and persistence metrics. Last year, this entailed conducting a survey. My PhD student is now conducting interviews to understand power dynamics of the program. Nick Babin, also in NC1190, is part of this team. 3. I am part of a team that is attempting to develop a module to add to existing wetland assessment tools to integrate social and cultural ecosystem services. We wrote a paper about the module, which tools are used the most, and which ecosystem services are valued by land managers. We wrote a grant to conduct workshops in California, Florida, and Montana to test this new module.</li><br /> <li>Rissman: 1) Farmer survey and interviews - 8 states in North Central USA. 2) Parcel analysis of land transfer and parcelization in Wisconsin. 3) Dairy survey analysis and publication of survey brief. 4) Synthesis of grassland and managed grazing interviews and survey results. 5) Development of a workshop series and webpage for landowners getting started with stewardship. 6) Hosting regular forestry discussion group on emerging issues with stakeholders in Wisconsin. 7) Agroforestry interviews in the Great Lakes region. 8) Indigenous land stewardship course taught at UW-Madison.</li><br /> <li>Kumar, K. and D.

Brief Summary of Minutes
Accomplishments
<p><strong>Short Term Outcomes</strong></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Burbach: 1.An on-going program evaluation of the Nebraska Water Leaders Academy shows that Academy alumni have emerged as leaders in their communities and with the knowledge and skills to drive innovative approaches to water management in Nebraska. 2.An evaluation of the influence of a real-life farm management competition on producers’ adoption of new management practices and technologies demonstrated that innovative Extension and educational programs framed in farm management competitions grounded in gamification along with adult, experiential, and peer learning are an effective way to increase adoption of new management practices and new technology. 3.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">An evaluation of the influence of a real-life farm management competition on non-agricultural producers' relationship with producers with implications for collaborative natural resource management demonstrated that innovative Extension and educational programs framed in farm management competitions grounded in gamification along with adult, experiential, and peer learning are an effective way to help policymakers be more comfortable interacting with producers.</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Church: 1. The Gallatin Water Collaborative is using my students' work to understand how adaptive management is included (or not) in water plans. They are using these concepts to organize projects and planning in the watershed. 2. Madison Boone's work in the Upper Clark Fork watershed is helping organizations in the watershed understand how an NSF-funded project has helped catalyze learning across groups, including how information and data that came out of the project are currently being used to help clean the watershed, which is a Superfund site."</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schad: 1. As part of a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) On-Farm Conservation Innovation Grant, 15 producers continue to participate in the Utah Soil Health Network On-Farm Soil Health Demonstration Project (‘trial’) to represent the geographic and agricultural diversity of the state of Utah. For participating they are receiving annual incentive payments, and are expected to keep records, maintain test plots, and implement various practices on their farm/ranch. Each program participant will have on-farm/ranch trials implemented (e.g., cover crops, no-till, and integrated grazing along with conventional strips) from which soil, crop, and water samples will be drawn. Participants are also working with soil planners, USU Extension agents, and crop advisors to develop a soil health plan for the five-year project and technical assistance will be provided throughout. Each year my team is either interviewing or surveying trial participants on their experience with the project and implementing the various soil health practices.</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Davenport: 1. In our “water policy co-development workshops” with more than 140 community leaders, environmental professionals, and policy makers. We raised awareness about community needs in urban water access and collaboratively identified practices and policies to address those needs. One state agency participant observed, “I was truly inspired by the conversation with water regulators and community members.... The workshops were powerful, rewarding, and above all, respectful. I was honored to have been able to participate in these conversations.” 2. We built skills in community-engaged research and policy across disciplines and scientists around water across the Midwest.</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aspooth: 1. Changing the conversation around diversification: Discussions at RAD team meetings have helped to change the way that agricultural stakeholders think about diversification by providing more information and room for discussion. 2. Connecting agricultural stakeholders around diversification: By hosting our RAD team meetings over the last three years, we have brought together a wide range of agricultural stakeholders to discuss diversification, its merits, downsides, and how to improve agriculture in the regional context. These connections can help continue the conversation and potential action around diversification into the future. 3. Increasing understanding: Outreach of our work among non-governmental organizations involved in agriculture, conservation professionals, agricultural educators, and academics have helped to increase knowledge on what farmers think about diversification and how it can be supported. This knowledge is key to strategizing for future diversification efforts.</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haigh: 1. As a result of Drought-Smart Indigenous Ag project, 12+ pueblo farmers have individuals soil fact sheets, pueblo staff have new resources to share with farmers, 2 students were trained through internships and are continuing their education in natural resources management, built new partnerships among pueblos, NGOs and state/fed agencies.</span></p><br /> <p><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p><br /> <p><strong>Outputs (Products delivered by research: reports, data, information, observations, publications, patents)</strong></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This team produced 27+ publications, the presentations and reports listed below, and the following additional outputs:</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haigh: *Kirchner, O.G., *Varisco, K., Haigh, T., and Bathke, D.

In spring 2024 a graduate class that I taught conducted 28 interviews with residents of Bear Lake (Idaho and Utah) about their perceptions of community and environmental change in the area. We partnered with a local non-profit - Bear Lake Watch - to do this work. We did a community presentation in May 2024 with nearly 40 in attendance. We are working on and have published a report, briefs, exhibition along with photos, and peer-reviewed publications from the project. 2. We conducted an online/mail survey of 3,000 Utah producers in spring of 2024 about usage and attitudes about soil health practices. We wrote a descriptive report, completed Extension fact sheets, and published a peer-reviewed publication with the data. 3. As part of the Smart Foodscapes project (see https://www.usu.edu/smart-foodscapes/), we conducted 14 semi-structured in-depth interviews with Utah ranchers during the summer of 2023. Topics included: Ranchers’ views on the SFS project, decision-making and trust, sense of place, and demographic information. We reached out to potential respondents by utilizing our team's networks, relevant listservs, including USU Extension. We have done a variety of presentations at academic and project conferences with the results and are working on a manuscript focused on ranchers’ sense of place and economic decision-making. 4. PhD student Edem Avemegah successfully defended his dissertation in Summer of 2024 on "Agriculture in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: Views on Water Quality, Agricultural-Related Conflicts, And the Adoption of Nutrient Management Plans." His work was part of the external evaluation for a 6 year USDA SAS grant called Thriving Ag (</span><a href="https://thrivingag.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://thrivingag.org/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">).</span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Davenport: 1. I supported Native American nations and their environmental program staff to document and communicate the relationships community members have with water, wetlands, Manoomin (wild rice, English), and fish.My research teams conducted more than 50 interviews with knowledge holders on water and Manoomin in the region. Preliminary findings of this work were shared with partners and have influenced management approaches on tribal lands and treaty territories in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. 2. I explored and uplifted different voices around access to clean drinking water including Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area urban residents and rural Minnesotans who manage their own private wells. We designed events called “equitable water policy co-development workshops” and facilitated 6 of these workshops in 2024 with more than 140 community leaders, environmental professionals, and policy makers. 3. I investigated community-engaged research processes and implications for community members and scientists. In this work my research team has conducted interviews, administered surveys, led talking circles, and facilitated workshops using community-engaged participatory approaches. We directly engage community members as partners and participants in research projects. We work closely with project collaborators including local, state, federal and tribal agencies. Our work uplifts community voices and values different ways of knowing and being in relationship with nature. It upholds tribal sovereignty and uplifts communities to serve as a model for community engaged research. I have presented this approach to social science and environmental policy as a model to scholars, managers, and policy makers in the region and across the globe.

Diverse Corn Belt farmer survey – farmer perceptions and identified barriers, and opportunities for the adoption of diversified farming practices in the Corn Belt. 2. Diverse Corn Belt farmer interviews – diversified farmers path to diversification, drivers of diversification, and barriers and opportunities for continued or further diversification according to diversified farmers. 3. Diverse Corn Belt Reimagining Agricultural Diversity (RAD) team meetings – bringing together diverse actors in each of the three project states (IL, IA, IN) throughout the agricultural sector to co-create ideas and opportunities for how to diversify the agricultural landscape in their region. 4. Drivers of small grain adoption in the Upper Midwest study – farmer and practitioner identified barriers and opportunities for the adoption of small grains in corn and soybean systems. *Noting that activities around agricultural diversification (e.g., crop diversification to include small grains and other food crops, crop and livestock integration, grazing livestock) relate directly to water quality and quantity issues due to the benefits of diverse rotations to water sequestration and retention and reduction in erosion, as well as the reduction in nitrogen from the spreading of manure when moving to grazed livestock systems. </span></p><br /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haigh: Analyzed survey of ecological land managers on their response to drought, data analysis and reporting stage. </span>Implemented a scenario-based activity to engage small-scale farm managers in discussions of adaptation to future climate scenarios, data gathering stage.

- Our research found that: More than 27% (11 of 40) of producers have adopted new technology on more than 50% of the land they farm following participation in the TAPS competition. More than 43% (19 of 44) of producers have adopted new technology on some of the land that they farm on somewhat long-term to long-term basis. More than 37.5% (15 of 40) of producers have adopted new management practices on more than 50% of the land they farm following participation in the TAPS competition. More than 52 % (23 of 44) of producers have adopted new agricultural management practices on some of the land that they farm on somewhat long-term to long-term basis. Fifty-five percent (22 of 40) of producers said participating in the TAPS program directly led to a more than 10% increase in farm productivity. Fifty percent of producers said participating in the TAPS program directly led to a more than 10% increase in farm profitability (20 of 40). More than 72% (29 of 40) of producers said participating in the TAPS program resulted in them reducing their nitrogen use by more than 10%. More than 52% (21 of 40) of producers said participating in the TAPS program resulted in them reducing their water applications by more than 10%.
- We influenced water policy development in the MSP metropolitan area in ways the centered communities and community needs.
- While it is difficult to directly measure the impact of this work, we intend our work to benefit users in the following ways: Increased economic resilience for farmers at the farm and market levels: Increasing agricultural diversification both in terms of the agricultural products and the markets in which they are sold distributes risk and helps farmers combat price and market volatility, creating a more stable and smoother income. Increased agronomic resilience for farmers: Increasing crop diversity at the field-level can naturally disrupt cycles of weeds, pests, and disease, and improve soil health with fewer chemical inputs. Grazing livestock can help regenerative soils and reduce nutrient pollution common in confined feeding operations. Improved food systems resilience: The brittle nature of long, industrial supply chains is an increasing threat to national food security, especially amidst crises like the Covid-19 pandemic and international trade wars. Growing table food (i.e., fruits, vegetables, nuts, small grains, oilseeds) in an area dominated by corn and soybeans, most of which are made into animal feed and fuel, can help create resilient local food systems with shorter supply chains in the Upper Midwest. Improved rural community vitality: The simplification of agricultural systems in the Upper Midwest to take advantage of economies of scale, alongside consolidation of agricultural processing, has left rural communities in decline. Increasing the diversity of products grown on farms can help revitalize rural communities by providing more opportunities for jobs, small and medium scale processing, and rural entrepreneurs. Improved ecological conditions: Diversifying cropping systems to include crops grown at different times of the year than summer annuals can help reduce the negative ecological impacts of crop production. This occurs by increasing surface cover and keeping roots in the ground throughout more of the year, and improving soil structure and soil water storage. Improved soil structure and water storage increases nutrient and sediment retention, thereby reducing soil erosion and leaching, which in turn reduces nitrogen and phosphorus losses and freshwater toxicity. The natural disruption of cycles of weeds, pests, and diseases that diverse rotations bring can also reduce the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides which contaminate ground and surface water.
- Our research results provide a path to reach these impacts which include: Increasing investment in markets and supply chain infrastructure for diversified products. Shifting farm policies like crop insurance to better accommodate a diversity of crops and cropping systems, supporting new and beginning farmers, and providing cost share for transitioning to more diversified systems. Increasing investment in breeding of diverse crops suited to the Upper Midwest. Providing information and outreach on the economics of diversification and appropriate business models. Educating farmers on the potential benefits of diversification and encouraging peer learning.
