Performance-Based Conservation Adoption Program

In this presentation, Tim Boring from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) and Jeremiah Asher from Michigan State University’s Institute of Water Research (IWR) discuss collaborative efforts to advance sustainable agriculture and water resource management across Michigan. Boring outlines MDARD’s role in supporting conservation programs, farmer engagement, and adaptive strategies that align agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship. Asher highlights research-driven initiatives that integrate data, modeling, and field-based practices to improve water quality and resilience in the Great Lakes basin. Together, they emphasize the importance of partnership between state agencies, universities, and producers in promoting climate-smart farming and protecting Michigan’s natural resources for future generations.
