Spoke to attendees of the ACE Twilight meeting last night about soil health, water quality, and farm sustainability. Lots of farmers and community members in attendance! Note the results from the rainfall simulation (~2" of rain). Thanks to @dairypdpw for inviting me!

I took another stab at becoming the next great American DJ this afternoon! π Just kidding, I was actually a part of a conservation panel on WBEV in Beaver Dam. I feel humbled to be asked to be a part of things like this. I guess I'm doing something right! #conservation #radio

An interesting idea! #PrecisionAg is an important tool in achieving maximum ROI in cropping systems. It'd be cool if this becomes a thing!

I put on a nice shirt and attended the @cleanlakes annual meeting in Madison. So cool to see stakeholders from all industries coming together for clean water! As a conservation professional and outdoor enthusiast, this is great! #sustainability

Spent part of my #EarthDay2022 at the @USFWS Horicon Nat'l Wildlife Refuge. So fortunate to live by this natural beauty! So many ducks and geese on the water today. Earth day is a good day to remember how beautiful our planet is. Let's keep it that way! ππ±

The EQIP and RCPP programs are great options for farmers to attain financial assistance to get #conservation on the ground for an array of practices. Your local @pheasants4ever FBB or PACS can provide guidance on these programs. #EarthWeek ππ±
Farmers and forest landowners interested in Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) or Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) will want to plan ahead and sign up early for USDA conservation funding. Learn more at https://t.co/sBA5HnkrHu

With the strong winds today, please don't don't do any burning today. I speak from experience when I say that strong winds and dry grass don't mix well. Be safe! #firewx
Saying it's windy outside today is just a bit of an understatement. And that means if you burn, there's a risk embers can escape and cause a wildfire. Please avoid all burning. @NWS expects these conditions to stick around through Saturday. More at

Every spring we clean up litter along the county road by the farm (~2 miles stretch). This is par for course, about one ATV wagon load. Seriously people, don't litter. #EarthDay2022 π
