Nutrient Management Strategies to Headline Virtual Farmer Meeting

Farmers and landowners are encouraged to join their peers from Maryland's Catoctin Creek Watershed on October 22 for a free virtual event. The event focuses on incorporating conservation agriculture and soil health practices to create stronger farm businesses and includes a virtual dairy farm tour. Mike McMahon will host the webinar, a winner of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy's 2018 U.S. Dairy Sustainability Award. Additional hosts include USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Maryland, Farm Journal Foundation, and Farm Journal's Trust In Food initiative. Using a combination of video and live streaming, McMahon will illustrate his operation’s conservation ag investments and share insights about how other farmers can increase their operations' sustainability and profitability. The event includes updates on soil health and manure management innovation in the ag equipment market from a panel of directors and executives from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
