to ultimately balance financial and environmental sustainability.

Maintain healthy and balanced ecosystem. Utilize best management practices. Build a replicable model for agronomic sustainability. Monitor groundwater flow and quality. Study changes in quality of soil pore water under various cropping rotations. this, RDO and CLC will be implementing: Innovative cropping practices to reduce nitrate loss Growing low nitrogen demanding crops Following each crop with a cover crop to capture and hold nitrogen for following season. Monitoring and adaptive management Utilizing U of M nitrogen guidelines Incorporation of nitrogen fertilizers Progressive soil heal
