Recognizing the Importance of PollinatorsIn the United States one third of all agricultural output depends on pollinators. Fruit and vegetable growers in New Jersey can attest to the significant role pollinators play in the production of many of our crops. Promoting pollinators' habitat on and near the farm benefits everyone who likes to eat! Odd areas and idle fields on farms can be used to create habitat for pollinators, such as the wildflower meadow pictured here, established near a hedgerow on a Hunterdon County farm. Through the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, in New Jersey offers landowners technical and financial assistance for restoring habitat for pollinators in the “early successional habitat” provision. Contact your local NRCS Office for more information about these programs. National
