The Pollinator Safety Corners Program provides incentives for landowners to convert small areas of cropland at rural intersections into low-growing grasses and wildflowers. These plantings help improve driver visibility while establishing pollinator habitat.

Program Overview

Participants enroll 1 to 3 acres of cropland located at rural intersections. Enrolled areas are seeded with a mix of short grasses and wildflowers designed to maintain clear sightlines.

Incentives & Contract Details

• $75 per acre cost-share for seed mix
• 5-year contract
• One-time upfront payment of $1,250 per acre
• Project signage provided at no cost

Participants are responsible for site preparation, planting, and ongoing maintenance, including weed control.

Eligible Land

To qualify, land must:

• Be cropland adjacent to a rural intersection
• Include 1 to 3 acres at the intersection corner
• Be located within the Lower Platte South NRD

How It Works

Tall crops at intersections can limit visibility for approaching traffic. This program replaces those areas with low-growing vegetation that maintains clear sightlines and meets recommended safety standards.
