Benton-Tama Nutrient Reduction Project Expanded Project Area

Project Mission Statement

The Benton Tama Nutrient Reduction Project works with landowners to demonstrate the benefits of nutrient reduction practices on row crop acres in Benton and Tama counties.  This project uses conservation practices, field trials, demonstrations, and education to support landowner conservation efforts in Wolf Creek, Rock Creek, Pratt Creek, Hinkle Creek, Mud Creek, Opossum Creek and Wildcat Creek watersheds.

This cereal rye cover crop was terminated 5 weeks before this photo was taken, and soybeans were no-till planted into it. The 3+ foot tall rye has provided soil cover and prevented weed infestations in this field all spring.
