Want to learn more about groundwater in Wisconsin? Private wells provide a window into our groundwater. The Wisconsin Well Water Quality Viewer utilizes well data to help everyone learn more about groundwater quality impacts from land use such as nitrate or naturally occurring contaminants such as arsenic or manganese.

These samples are the same soil type and have been in a corn-bean rotation for the past 20+ years, however their treatment has been substantially different. The soil on the left has not been tilled or had anhydrous ammonia applied for over 20 years and has had a cereal rye cover crop grown after harvest for the last 5 years. The soil on the right has been tilled each year, as well has had anhydrous ammonia applied in the fall. This picture was taken about 2 minutes after the samples were submerged in water. The tilled soil essentially “exploded” as soon as it entered the water. Repeated tillage has destroyed the structure of the soil, eliminating pore space and destroying the biological “glue” that helps hold soil together, and as a result the soil has collapsed. In contrast, due to minimal soil disturbance the tillage-free soil has excellent pore space and extensive biological activity, and as a result has provided the soil with a healthy structure that can withstand the impacts of water.

Within 5 minutes the tilled soil was completely gone, whereas the tillage-free soil remained almost entirely intact. We decided to see how long it could last and kept adding water to it (to keep up with evaporation) over the course of several weeks. We gave up after 6 weeks, in which the tillage-free soil sample was still about 95% intact.

To manage soil-borne pests you need a combo of soil sampling, crop rotation, nematicides, fumigation, and biofumigation. Here’s how it’s going in potato fields in the Pacific Northwest: https://ow.ly/J6zq50Pn3jP

International Compost Awareness Week is May 7-13, 2023

Composting turns your food waste into the food web and your scraps into soil.

The majority of household waste can be composted. Food scraps, paper products, cardboard. Most anything that was once alive can be composted. . . And it’s only “waste” if you waste it by sending it to the landfill.

Recycle organics by composting/ vermicomposting at home or sign up for a local pickup service to make it easy and convenient.

Spring grazing in northern climates should be introduced slowly and delayed until grasses reach 6 to 8 inches to optimize both the health of the horse and pasture. Calendar date is not important as weather conditions and grass growth can vary greatly from year to year. When pastures reach 6 to 8 inches, begin grazing for 15 minutes, increasing the grazing time each day by 15 minutes until 5 hours of consecutive grazing is reached. After that, unrestricted or continuous grazing can resume.

We also recommend feeding horses their normal hay diet before turning them out to pasture during the first several grazing events of the year. This strategy should help avoid rapid intake of pasture grasses. Even though hay and pasture are both forms of forages, there are significant differences. A gradual change from one feedstuff to another provides enough time for the microbial populations to adjust, reducing the chance of colic and laminitis.
