Nutrient runoff from agricultural production is a significant source of water pollution in the U.S., and climate change that produces extreme weather events is likely to exacerbate the problem. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign looks at how extreme rainfall impacts runoff and suggests possible mitigation strategies.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer Influencers & Innovators podcast, brought to you by Terrasym, Frank Lessiter talks with Lloyd Murdock, professor emeritus at the University of Kentucky about his early lessons from no-till, how soil changes over the decades after tillage stops, an experiment that took years to take off, and more.

Do you conduct on-farm research, and if so, what types of studies have you done or are currently conducting?

Kansas State University Research and Extension conducted field, laboratory and computer modeling studies to come up with the following best management practices for no-till cropping systems.

After 75 years of conducting research, the USDA North Appalachian Experimental Watershed Research Center in Coshocton County, Ohio, is closing.
