Slow progress in nutrient loss reduction efforts

There’s plenty of nutrient loss management research data available, but it doesn’t do much good if it isn’t disseminated to farmers to show there’s proof in the pudding.
 
Jennifer Woodyard, University of Illinois Extension watershed outreach associate, said that’s where Extension and other partner organizations come in.
 
 
Woodyard spoke of her outreach work for a pair of phosphorous priority watersheds, the Embarras River and Little Wabash River, in east-central and southeastern Illinois, as well as the work of her counterpart, Haley Harverbeck-Gruber, in northwest Illinois.
 
 
Harverbeck-Gruber does outreach for the Mississippi Central/Henderson Creek Watershed and Lower Rock River Watershed that are nitrogen priorities.
