Conservation doesn’t have to be a trade-off. Dr. Larkin Powell, director of the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, joins WildAg to unpack market cycles, the Conservation Reserve Program, and practical design ideas that help farms protect soil and wildlife while staying profitable — plus a preview of his new book, “The Best of Intentions: A Story of Landscape Change in the Great Plains.” From soil bank to prairie strips, Powell explains what actually moves the needle on private lands and how producers, agencies and NGOs can team up to build resilient, wildlife-friendly operations.
