What Are Prairie Strips?
Prairie strips are a conservation practice that protects soil and water while providing habitat for wildlife. The STRIPS (Science-based Trails of Rowcrops Integrated with Prairie Strips) integrating small amounts of prairie into strategic locations within corn and soybean fields -- in the form of in-field contour buffer strips and edge-of-field filter strips -- can yield disproportionate benefits for soil, water, and biodiversity.
