Monarch Challenge continues

Monarch butterfly populations have declined 90 percent over the last 20 years, due to decreased amounts of milkweed. BASF is teaming up with farmers to fix that by rebuilding the monarch butterfly habitat across a 3,000 mile migratory path.

Laura Vance, biology project leader at BASF spent time at the 2017 Farm Progress Show encouraging farmers to plant Monarch butterfly habitat on their farms.
