Every spring we clean up litter along the county road by the farm (~2 miles stretch). This is par for course, about one ATV wagon load. Seriously people, don't litter. #EarthDay2022 🌎

Looking to terminate your grass cover crop this spring? This article from Meaghan Anderson provides some effective methods. Think spring! 🌱 crops.extension.iastate.edu/blog/meaghan-a…

With the strong winds today, please don't don't do any burning today. I speak from experience when I say that strong winds and dry grass don't mix well. Be safe! #firewx

It's always a great Friday when you get to spend it in a miscanthus field collecting residue data! #FieldworkFriday

The EQIP and RCPP programs are great options for farmers to attain financial assistance to get #conservation on the ground for an array of practices. Your local Pheasants Forever FBB or PACS can provide guidance on these programs. #EarthWeek 🌎🌱

Spent part of my #EarthDay2022 at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Horicon Nat'l Wildlife Refuge. So fortunate to live by this natural beauty! So many ducks and geese on the water today. Earth day is a good day to remember how beautiful our planet is. Let's keep it that way! 🌎🌱

Saw this beautiful rooster in a cool season CRP field in rural Grant County, WI. With the warm temps, the grasses are really starting to grow! #conservationag

I put on a nice shirt and attended the Clean Lakes Alliance annual meeting in Madison. So cool to see stakeholders from all industries coming together for clean water! As a conservation professional and outdoor enthusiast, this is great! #sustainability

An interesting idea! #PrecisionAg is an important tool in achieving maximum ROI in cropping systems. It'd be cool if this becomes a thing!

I took another stab at becoming the next great American DJ this afternoon! 😆 Just kidding, I was actually a part of a conservation panel on WBEV in Beaver Dam. I feel humbled to be asked to be a part of things like this. I guess I'm doing something right! #conservation #radio

I will be leading this tour along with Scott Stipetich and Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) on Saturday. There is still time to sign up! See the article for the sign-up link.

The patio herb garden project is going well! The basil and cilantro are coming up nicely! Going to try dehydrating and grinding some up next week. #gardening

Heavy rains have fallen across Southern/Central WI this morning. Be aware of minor flooding in the areas in brighter colors (1-3" of rain). #wiwx

#Harvest2022 began yesterday in the #wheat fields at the farm. Wheat has worked quite well in our rotation and is great for the soil!Early indications are that this will be a good crop! 🌾

Calling a plant a weed is only a matter of perspective! #plants

The days are getting shorter. The nights are getting cooler. The first signs of fall are here, including some of these early beauties 🍁

Demonstrating how we use the Cornell Infilrometer to measure one aspect of soil health and how that relate to perrenial ground cover and erosion protection.

Spoke to attendees of the ACE Twilight meeting last night about soil health, water quality, and farm sustainability. Lots of farmers and community members in attendance! Note the results from the rainfall simulation (~2" of rain). Thanks to Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) for inviting me!

The guy in the green polo looks familiar! 😉 Grateful for the opportunity to give these talks to farmers about sustainable agriculture practices! midwestfarmreport.com/2022/09/06/pdp… via Pam Jahnke
