BMPs of NMPs #6: On-Farm Nutrient Management Implementation in Southwestern WI
On the sixth and final episode of the BMPs of NMPs, Landon Baumgartner and Dan Smith discuss the trends that they have seen in their home area of southwestern Wisconsin's driftless area. They highlight the importance of farmer innovation, particularly in the area's steep slopes, in forwarding the goals of nutrient management, including no-till planting, cover crops, and variable rate applications. While emphasis on reducing phosphorus losses from soil runoff and manure management remain key in the area, new attention is being paid to nitrogen loading, especially with the proximity of the Mississippi River. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

BMPs of NMPs #5: Nutrient Management Planning and Soil Health
This fifth episode of the BMPs of NMPS offers a deep dive into the nuances of Nutrient Management Planning (NMP) and soil health, led by Chris Bandera and Jamie Patton. Emphasizing that while soil fertility is a core component of a high-functioning soil system, it is not synonymous with the broader concept of soil health. We’ll explore the critical role of context such as soil texture and climate in setting expectations for soil health indicators. Listeners will gain insight into how it's possible to have high fertility with poor soil function, and vice versa. We’ll discuss how to track progress on the soil health journey, highlighting the use of basic tools like observation and a shovel, alongside laboratory tests, and stressing the importance of establishing a good baseline for comparison over time.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

BMPs of NMPs #4: Soil and Land Feature Restrictions for 590 and CAFO Farms
<p>In this fourth episode of the BMPs of NMPs, Hava Blair and Andrea Topper join host Landon Baumgartner to unpack how Wisconsin’s diverse soils and sensitive land features shape farming practices. They explore the unique challenges of regions like the Driftless Area, Central Sands, and Silurian bedrock zones, and explain common restrictions such as setbacks near water bodies, wells, and wetlands. The discussion highlights differences between 590 farms and CAFO operations, and introduces SnapPlus, Wisconsin’s free nutrient management planning software that helps farmers visualize soil types, sensitive features, and regulatory requirements on their own fields.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
