Soil Health and the Rainfall Simulator with Steve Nipper and Rachel Stout-Evans

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) rainfall simulator demonstration provides a first-hand look at how practices such as no-till and cover crops can benefit soil health, increase infiltration, and reduce runoff and sedimentation. In this segment of Trailblazer RC&D’s Ecologically Speaking video series, Steve Nipper, Water Quality Specialist with NRCS, and Rachel Stout-Evans, Resource Soil Scientist with NRCS, demonstrate the difference no-till and cover crops can make on your farm during a Soil Health Field Day in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. This field day was sponsored by Trailblazer RC&D and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
