Oilseed crops a good habitat for pollinators
MORRIS, Minn. — The oilseed crop plots at the USDA–ARS North Central Soil Conservation Lab\'s Swan Lake Research Farm are alive in more ways than one. Researchers at the Morris–based lab are not only noting good plant development, they are also seeing and hearing bees and other insects at work pollinating the crops. \"You walk into the fields and you hear this buzzing,\" said research agronomist Frank Forcella. It\'s a win–win for the crops, which need pollination, and for the pollinators in need of good habitat and food sources. It\'s led to another layer of lab\'s oilseed research. The Soils Lab is collaborating with others to develop and study pollinator habitat and the health of the bees and insects in the area.
