For nearly 4 decades, the U.S. Farm Bill has stood as the most influential piece of legislation for improving waterfowl habitat on private land across America. With it now up for renewal, Julia Peebles and Zach Hartman join Dr. Mike Brasher to share how DU is working with ag and conservation groups to advocate for a Farm Bill that prioritizes the needs of American farmers and ranchers while delivering robust funding for voluntary, incentive-based conservation to benefit ducks, wildlife, and people.
