Farmers, have you signed up for the Living Acres #MonarchChallenge milkweed giveaway?
BASF Agricultural Solutions North America biodiversity initiative, Living Acres, is hosting its 5th annual #MonarchChallenge and farmers from across the nation are eligible to participate. The first 1,000 qualified farmers who sign up will receive a starter kit containing 18 milkweed seedlings – either common milkweed or swamp milkweed - to grow a butterfly habitat of their own or expand an existing habitat.
Milkweed is the only species of plant that monarch butterfly larvae feed on, making it a critical part of the monarch life cycle. In addition to providing seedlings, the Monarch Challenge also shares best practices on milkweed development with farmers to help support the monarch butterfly.
