This award is for SusChes and project partners to lay the foundation for expanded adoption of poultry litter injection technologies that will achieve the goal of improved soil health and manure nutrient retention, while also addressing local and regional water quality and habitat resource concerns. The specific objectives of this project are: (1) - Modify Virginia Tech’s existing poultry litter Subsurfer unit, building on lessons learned to address previously identified performance issues, so that it is capable of supporting field trials in the region, (2) - Demonstrate poultry litter injection and compare agronomic performance side-by-side with surface application on a commercial farm using a conservation tillage/cover crop production system. Collect data on yields and supplemental nitrogen fertilizer requirements, and (3) - Share results with poultry and crop growers in the region and SAM Initiative partners.

This project was to develop a statewide analysis and web-app that worked at HUC-8, HUC-12, and NHDPlus Catchment scales, with special attention paid to dairy and poultry agriculture. The app would be used in conjunction with supporting data and apps in the Louisiana Freshwater Assessment (FWA) to support conservation decisions at the watershed and land parcel scale.

Water management in farms and rural areas relies heavily on grassed waterways. Results from this project will allow USDA-NRCS to provide accurate recommendations to farmers on size and capacity of vegetated drainage channels and waterways. Design of hydrologic/hydraulic modifications in farms and rural areas will be improved. Better design of grass lined waterways, levees, ponds and ditches will reduce soil erosion, greenhouse gases release, improve water quality and mitigate environmental impacts
