Combine flat fields, lots of rainfall and a need for irrigation to fight summer heat and it becomes obvious that moisture management is critical for Jeremy Jack, South Region winner of the 2013 Conservation Legacy Awards. In the Mississippi Delta, one of our biggest conservation efforts goes into water management, Jack says. Soil and nutrient management is set by the way we manage water.

2013 Conservation Legacy Awards: Midwest Region: Gail Fuller

2013-01-25 20:25:00| Corn & Soybean Digest

Gail Fuller is a farmer by occupation; he also is equal parts philosopher and futurist. This Emporia, Kan., farmer quotes an ancient philosopher: To be a successful farmer, one must first know the nature of the soil, he says, quoting Xenophon of Athens, a Greek author who wrote those words nearly 2,500 years ago. From Fullers point of view, knowing the soil has slipped pretty far down the priority list in todays agriculture. But it is job one at Fuller Farms.
