Beyond the Yield - Episode 4: stubble management with Dr.Jeff Schoenau

Stubble management is an important element to consider during harvest. Good stubble management helps with nutrient cycling and getting the field primed for the following spring. 

This episode, with Dr. Jeff Schoenau, explores how retaining and removing the straw impacts soil moisture and temperature in both knoll and depressional areas in the field. We look at the value straw has to soil nutrient and soil health, more specifically: 

• How does straw management impact soil moisture and temperatures, especially in early spring?
• When managing a hilly field, can I keep the straw in the knolls and remove it from the depressions and see benefits?
• How does removing/retaining straw change soil nutrients in different topography?
