For many years, Farm Bureau and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District have been working together to bridge the gap between point source and nonpoint source stakeholder interests and identify areas of collaboration. For 2024, IFB and MWRD, as well as partners from Cook County Farm Bureau (CFB), University of Illinois (U of I), and others are joining at a greenhouse and specialty crop operation for a field day focused on highlighting research and resources that are being developed to support agricultural producers of all types. Join us to learn about nutrient loss reduction research, nutrient management strategies for various crop production facilities, composting, and many other topics.
