Rutgers will demonstrate how energy monitoring devices can be used to identify opportunities for improved energy efficiency in existing farm facilities. The project aims to educate producers and agricultural professionals in the selection, implementation and use of energy monitoring solutions. The project will provide comprehensive information on the pros and cons of the different technologies available for energy monitoring.

Identify recommendations to refine and market best management practices to limit nitrate migration from agricultural croplands having drainage system. Continue to develop nitrogen and drainage management protocols for the agriculture community using controlled subsurface drainage systems. (2) Propose recommendations to refine and market best management practices associated with development of riparian buffers in key watershed locations. (3) Continue to evaluate nitrate-N, total N, P, S and other nutrient concentrations in tile drainage effluents from a large controlled subsurface drainage - irrigation system in southeastern Missouri, (4) Continue to assess different N fertilizer strategies for corn to minimize nitrate-N concentrations from the tile drainage effluent, (5) Continue to assess different soil drainage scenarios during the fall-winter-early spring period to promote denitrification and potentially limit nitrate-N concentrations in tile drainage effluent, (6) Continue to develop cover crop protocols to sequester nitrate-N as organic-N.

The project seeks to develop a large-scale agricultural carbon project on Shepherd’s Grain and surrounding land in partnership with landowners in the Palouse region, and to provide a roadmap for developing large-scale, high quality, and low cost carbon transactions. The introduction of sustainable, low-carbon farming practices have the potential to restore the fertility. This project will demonstrate both the importance of large-scale low-carbon practices to GHG reductions policies and the role of quantitative soil carbon methodologies in creating compliance–grade off set credits.
