In a groundbreaking initiative near Princeton, Missouri, the first 1,000 acres of the Horizon II pilot project are being transformed into native prairie. This innovative project opens new avenues for landowners to generate income while enhancing environmental sustainability.
An additional 39,000 acres of highly erodible land across northern Missouri and southern Iowa are set to benefit from this project, which aims to create wildlife habitats, improve environmental conditions, and utilize sustainably harvested native prairie feedstock for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production. Moreover, Horizon II encourages the cultivation of 40,000 acres of winter-hardy cereal rye cover crops, also destined for RNG production.
