Observation during winter and spring 2015 showed some of the worst wind erosion in years. There was a significant amount of soil that was blown into the ditches around fields. The winter of 2016 also did not provide much snow cover which promoted wind erosion.

Soil and Water Improvement through Strip-Tilling and Cover Crop Application
The objective of this project is to explore practices to reduce nitrogen loss and improve nitrogen management which, in turn, improves water quality. Cover crops will bring up underutilized nutrients from deeper in the soil profile, reduce erosion and allow better infiltration of rain water.
