Managing Water with Soil Health

In this week’s episode of Streamlines, John McMaine and Anthony Bly continue their soil health and drainage discussion by covering the following topics:

• Can we see a win-win-win situation when looking at habitat, agronomy, and water quality in a system?
• If we are seeing so many benefits to drainage and soil health systems, why isn’t everybody doing it?
• What appears to be the biggest barrier stopping producers from adopting soil health practices and how can we overcome that barrier?
• Identifying functional Biology versus Chemistry in soil systems.
• The original system conversation and what we have to look forward to for future technologies and practices.

Dr. Eileen Kladivko is once again the special guest speaker, a professor in the agronomy department from Purdue University. Additional resources related to Dr. Kladivko’s research can be found at https://ag.purdue.edu/agry/drainage/Pages/New-Summaries.aspx.
