Dr. Jean Eells on Conservation Plans for Women Landowners

In Her Boots

Dr. Jean Eells talks about women landowners and their historic roles on farms, sharing tips based on her research into the best ways to help these landowners learn about conservation practices they can put into practice on their land. If you're a woman who owns land you farm or rent out or you work in conservation programs, listen in to hear about ways we can encourage conservation practices. Dr. Jean Eells operates E Resources Group, an evaluation and research business working with private businesses, governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations to facilitate and evaluate projects to improve success. She has pioneered a model of outreach to women landowners used by many states and organizations and is a leader in how to best reach and support women in achieving their conservation goals. A landowner in central Iowa, she is working with her family and the tenant farmer to incorporate more conservation practices, like no-till and cover crops.
