The Foundation concludes a busy event schedule this Wednesday at DGF school in Glyndon. An open house is being hosted to check out the awesome collaboration of organizations, conservation and agriculture being developed at the school. The community has been a huge help. We’re asking one more time for a little help in finding a rancher to cut the sweet corn for silage. Bayer Crop Science has made the FFA plot possible, we would like to continue it being used productively with the remaining sweetcorn being cut for silage. Would be pretty cool for the FFA. If you know anyone that would be willing to cut the sweet corn. Let us know.

United Prairie Foundation along with the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil resources and Wildlife Forever are developing an educational Prairie Trail program in Glyndon Minnesota at the DGF School. This program has a field implementation that has a large Prairie and FFA space. The school is looking for an FFA advisor. This has the potential to be one of the most potent FFA chapters in the region. The DGF FFA has corporate Bayer Crop Science leading the field implementation and engaging the students in direct management of agricultural crop production. What an awesome opportunity. This year they have 2 acres of sweet corn available free will to the public come and get some.

This week our team along with the Barnes County W**d Board collected spurge beetles for use in UPF’s Grazed Wildlife Habitat program. The beetles are a biological control for the very invasive leafy spurge which is negatively affecting our existing prairies. You can support our grassroots conservation by visiting our newly created merch store.
