Site Summary
The best management practices (BMPs) shown at this ONFARM site are the use of cover crops in a corn-dry bean rotation and an organic amendment (beef and chicken compost) and a combination of both. The field site is a gently rolling landscape on a loamy fine sand soil. The soil health goal is to increase soil organic matter.
