Clinton County Farm Bureau
Managing manure and cover crops to reduce nutrient losses
In the third virtual field day, Clinton County farmers Paul Meyer and Mark Litteken discuss research on their farms using manure to avoid commercial fertilizer applications and cover crops to reduce nutrient runoff. Partners from Clinton County Farm Bureau, Illinois Farm Bureau, Southern Illinois University Carbondale (College of Agricultural Sciences), Schuette Seeds, Sugar Creek Valley Farms LLC, Wyciskalla Consulting and Meyer VMS Dairy, Inc. all play a role in studying plots at Meyer VMS Dairy and Sugar Creek Valley Farms.
