- One-on-one consultations with farmers from Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Washington, and Ozaukee Counties where farmers learned about: crimping winter rye and no-till planting soybeans, understanding alfalfa quality reports to better time harvest for high-quality dairy forage, weed control on small scale organic vegetable farms, and lastly helping buyers and sellers to determine fair market prices of standing alfalfa off the field. A better understanding of these agronomic topics results in greater farm profits.
- An on-farm demonstration project in Ozaukee County where farmers learned about planting unit closing wheels made by different manufacturers that will improve no-till planting, seed placement, and better germination.
- As a member of the Ozaukee County USDA Demo Farm Management Team, assisted in developing educational programs and outreach for Ozaukee County. Farmers, industry agronomists, and agency personnel will learn about soil health and cover crop practices that improve water quality, by improving soil infiltration rates and enhancing nutrient utilization.
