Because of the large amount of coordination and stakeholder involvement required for the project, as well as the high level of technical expertise required for the monitoring, database and modeling aspects, the project is advised by an External Advisory Board. This board consists of members with broad managerial, producer and scientific expertise on GHGs, climate modeling, physical modeling, analytical chemistry and carbon sequestration.

The board's role is to provide high-level, broad advice and to serve as a network into important stakeholder groups. The External Advisory Board meets regularly with the Executive Team. The External Advisory Board also meets with the full team at the project's annual conference.

We're scientists and farmers working together to create a suite of practices for corn-based systems that:

  • are resilient in times of drought
  • reduce soil and nutrient losses under saturated soil conditions
  • reduce farm field nitrogen losses
  • retain carbon in the soil
  • ensure crop and soil productivity
