Pheasants Forever offers Pennsylvania farmers financial incentive to create field edges for wildlife

A new program from Pheasants Forever gives farmers a financial incentive to set aside areas of their fields to give a boost to wildlife and the Chesapeake Bay. 
The Field Border Incentive Program pays farmers to plant perennial grass and wildflower cover along the edges of crop fields that are usually less productive. The program is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Farms within nine watersheds in the eastern half of Pennsylvania are eligible for the program.
