UTRCA is hosting a field day at the Thorndale Demonstration Farm on Thursday September 5th from 10am-12pm
Join us on a tour of the Thorndale Demonstration Farm to learn about the suite of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) implemented on the farm. We'll share how we're testing and demonstrating various BMPs with the goal of improving and protecting soil health and water quality while maintaining productivity.
Highlights will include:
· Contoured controlled drainage system
· Newly installed StormTech storm water retention system
· Two water and sediment control basins
· Pollinator planting
· Windbreaks and block planting
· Cover crops
· Conservation tillage
