The Kentucky Ag Water Quality working group visited a farm in western Kentucky where the farmer is using sod waterways, filter strips, cover crops and strip tillage in a crop rotation on his farm. The farmer discussed the costs of building sod waterways and showed us a neighboring farm that uses heavy tillage. Erosion from that farm puts sediment into the sod waterway and caused this farmer to have to re-build the waterways this past fall. This farm visit was helpful to all on the water working group as we could see how different practices affected farming.
