MARION — The Monarch Research Project will distribute free milkweed and pollinator seed to Linn County residents from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today (Saturday, May 12) at Clearwater Farm, 4970 Lakeside Rd. The seed for “The Million Seed Giveaway” has been cold-stratified and is ready to plant this spring. Employees of Monsanto in Williamsburg volunteered to harvest the common milkweed seed in fall 2017 at Clearwater Farm.
