Monarch Butterfly

The Manhattan Plant Materials Center (KSPMC) develops plants and new plant technologies for America's heartland. The Center offers services to a diverse region of the heartland including northeastern Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and northern Oklahoma

NRCS is working with agricultural producers to combat the decline of monarch butterflies by planting milkweed and other nectar-rich plants on private lands.

NRCS provides assistance to design, layout and install conservation practices that fit both the resource needs and the producer's objectives for the land.
