BMPs of NMPs #6: On-Farm Nutrient Management Implementation in Southwestern WI
Episode 6
Tuesday, 30 December, 2025
On the sixth and final episode of the BMPs of NMPs, Landon Baumgartner and Dan Smith discuss the trends that they have seen in their home area of southwestern Wisconsin's driftless area. They highlight the importance of farmer innovation, particularly in the area's steep slopes, in forwarding the goals of nutrient management, including no-till planting, cover crops, and variable rate applications. While emphasis on reducing phosphorus losses from soil runoff and manure management remain key in the area, new attention is being paid to nitrogen loading, especially with the proximity of the Mississippi River.
