Sustainability
Here at Truesdell Family Farm we recognize the vital role of both environmental sustainability and economic sustainability have on the long term success of a farm. Therefore, we are committed to taking a long-term, science based approach to crop farming. Here are just a few ways we are working to achieve these goals and their benefits:
Routine soil sampling
measuring soil health and building input application prescriptions
Prescription based input applications
applying inputs when and where they are needed most and avoiding over application in other areas
Split application nitrogen program
applying Nitrogen when and where the plant needs it while reducing nitrogen leaching
Soil drainage and waterway management
reduced erosion and increased yields
GPS guided equipment
Reduces input overlap and increases fuel efficiency
Conservation tillage
reduced soil erosion and improved organic matter
