This research poster is part of the USDA-supported project, ”Cropping Systems Coordinated Agricultural Project: Climate Change, Mitigation, and Adaptation in Corn-Based Cropping Systems.” The poster presents the results of a discussion with four focus groups of farmers from varying geographic regions.
