Heavy Storms Can Contribute a Big Chunk of Nitrogen Pollution from Midwest Farms – Daily Yonder
My work as a quantitative ecologist examines how ecosystems respond to external factors such as adding nitrogen. In a recently published study, I worked with colleagues to quantify nitrogen runoff from land into rivers and streams. We found that infrequent but heavy rainfall events account for one-third of annual total runoff and nitrogen leaching from soils across the Mississippi Basin. This tells us that managing nitrogen is likely to be more challenging if climate change continues to make heavy rains more frequent.
A first-generation farmer growing a niche farm business in a pandemic year | Successful Farming
When Scott Thellman took a job at a local sweet corn farm when he was in junior high, he never imagined it would lead him to farming full-time on his own. From that summer on, he was going to do whatever he needed to, to make his new dream a reality.
The 30-year-old now farms on his first-generation farm of 1,200 acres of hay, alfalfa, row crops and 40 acres of a variety of fruits and vegetables outside of Lawrence, Kansas.
“When I realized I wanted to farm, I started saving up money,” says Thellman. “I was able to save enough to purchase a mower, rake, and baler throughout high school, and that turned into a fairly sizable hay operation by the time I graduated.”
