Landowners and Farmers Partnering for Clean Water in the Great Lakes
Nearly 284 million acres of U.S. land—or 31 percent of the nation’s land in farms— are owned and rented out by “non-operating” landowners—landowners who do not farm—many of whom are women. This dynamic can make the decision to implement conservation practices a complicated one for both farmers and landowners.
