Webinar: Evaluation of Environmental and Economic Benefits of Dairy Manure Treatment Technologies
Dr. Mara Cloutier of the Soil Health Institute presents results from a baseline assessment of soil health on commercial dairy farms as part of the Dairy Soil & Water Regeneration project, highlighting how management practices such as reduced tillage and cover crops are associated with improved soil health across Wisconsin’s Driftless Region, as well as opportunities for continued progress. The webinar concludes with a panel discussion featuring regional experts who share local perspectives and on-the-ground experience.
The annual Dairy Sustainability Alliance Spring meeting drew in over 260 dairy value chain partners, including farmers, to discuss shared priorities and progress. Among the various discussion topics of health and nutrition, on farm practicality and economic viability, measuring progress, and understanding farmers’ perspectives, the overall message remained the same — what makes the dairy industry stand out from others is its shared responsibility and aligned execution to power its momentum.
Newtrient team members provide an overview of dairy manure management technologies evaluated through its 2020 Natural Resources Conservations Services Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG). With a focus on functional performance, water quality and environmental impacts, and economic considerations, the webinar highlighted Newtrient’s collaborative approach to provide a comprehensive understanding of each technology.
