Welcome to the NRCS Idaho state web site.

Vavilov II is a rapidly establishing grass for the
Intermountain West, Great Basin and Northern Great Plains Regions of the United
States. Vavilov II was developed and tested as part of a cooperative program
to identify resilient cultivated plant strains for use on military bases, arid
to semi-arid rangelands and areas invaded by weeds such as cheatgrass. It was
selected for its persistence, and for its overall vigor in response to drought.
Extensive evaluations on rangeland in the west showed Vavilov II to have
superior forage yields compared with other existing commercially available
strains of Siberian wheatgrass.

The purpose and passion for conservation is shared among many.
It is shared between NRCS employees and partners who help the land.
And it is shared by the landowners with whom we work. Our
passion is manifested through the benefits derived from stewardship
of private lands -- benefits we all enjoy, such as cleaner water and
air, improved soils and abundant wildlife habitat.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation made possible
through shared purpose, a shared passion and a shared commitment to
conservation.
