REDUCING PFAS CONTAMINATION RISK FOR FORAGE PRODUCERS

The project goal is to equip farmers, in Maine, the U.S. and elsewhere, with management strategies to reduce the risks associated with growing forages on soil contaminated with PFAS. Specific objectives are to:Investigate the effect of species selection, crop type, harvest timing, and cutting height on PFAS uptake by forage crops.Facilitate farmer-driven research on PFAS mitigation strategies for forages.Support adoption of PFAS mitigation strategies for forages.
