In this episode of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Podcast, farmer Brian Corkill and contractor David Johnston join Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership’s Helen VanBeck to discuss the recent installation of a bioreactor on Corkill’s farm, the process behind it, and the benefits of this edge-of-field practice.
