Hosted by McLean County SWCD, Purdue University, NREC, The Nature Conservancy, and Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership, join us on Thursday, April 3, for a unique conservation tour as we learn about the path of water off the farm through filtration.
This conservation tour will take a look at how drainage tile impacts water quality, how cover crops play a role in nutrient runoff management, the role that wetlands can play in limiting nutrient runoff, and the cost associated with treating nutrients in the water.
Hosted by ELP Participant: Rachel Lechuga, Midwest Outreach Specialist, American Farmland Trust
