Description:
Presented results and implications of our three-year study that looked at the efficacy of compost to improve soil health and production on irrigated pasture. Researchers from CSU collected data in two different fields (in Ridgway and Fruita, CO). We examined pasture production and soil health metrics compared to untreated areas and those where commercial fertilizer was applied. This presentation shared results and implications for management. It was presented at the Western Colorado Soil Health, Food & Farm Forum
