Anaerobic digesters can provide dairy farms with important benefits, but this processing of manure increases its level of ammonium - a greenhouse gas (GHG) that can be lost to the atmosphere rapidly. This project focuses on evaluating the potential of a low-cost digester effluent treatment system to shape best management practices for manure and nutrient management.

Nutrient management recommendations for the application of phosphorus and potassium in Illinois have been developed based on conventional tillage systems. Currently there are no definite guidelines on soil sampling for phosphorus and potassium analysis of fields under conservation tillage systems such as strip-till and No-till. The purpose of this award is to research and develop methodology for soil sampling methods as well as recommendations for the placement of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in strip-till cropping operations.

This agreement is to provide financial assistance to the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust to provide the final implementation of a biological inventory of southeast Colorado. Through this biological inventory, the ranchers of the area are allowing biologists to assess the natural resources that they have been stewarding for generations for the first time. This is a continuation of field work that began in 2009 with a final report to be issued in 2010.
