Pesticide and nutrient runoff from agricultural fields is a socio-environmental problem in the Midwestern United States. Riparian forest buffers (RFBs) are a proven conservation practice that effectively manage this problem, though adoption rates are low. A mail survey was conducted to determine differences between adopter and nonadopter characteristics and attitudes with regard to the use of RFBs. Data were collected from 48 RFB adopters and 261 RFB nonadopters in two Nebraska watersheds. Inferential and multivaririate statistics were used to identify differences between adapter status and producer status groups. About half (50.8%) the respondents were nonproducers. Nonproducers are agricultural landowners not …

A Million Hectares for the Future. This workshop forms part of a series of workshops dealing with dryland salinity and options to manage it. All of the workshops have the common theme of identifying the risk at the catchment and farm level, assessing the potential consequences if the risk is not managed and determining the course of action to be taken. You will be able to determine the course of action based on your specific circumstances and goals. There is no one recipe that is suited to all situations.

The STEP workshops can be run as independent modules or as part of the ?A Million Hectares for the Future? workshop series of which the overarching learning outcome is: Participants will be able to identify and make informed decisions to profitably manage salinity on their farms. Outlines the preferred pathway for the modules in the Million Hectares for the Future series.
