February 10 Webinar: Diving Deeper Into Tile Drainage: Installation & Conservation Practice Considerations
The use of tile drainage in Wisconsin is growing. Tile can help dry out a wet field, yet there are water quality concerns with increased nitrates in water discharging from the tile outlet. This session will dive deeper into tile and share data on how bioreactors and other conservation practices impact nutrient losses, and discuss considerations when choosing which practices fit your operation.
Speakers: Iowa Nutrient Research Center Director Matt Helmers, professor, Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, and Margaret Zimmer, associate professor, Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences, UW–Madison.
