Description

Water is the number one nutrient needed for animal health and is crucial for crop growth. In the state of Wisconsin, most agricultural operations are groundwater dependent. Adam Freihoefer, the Water Use Section Manager at the Department of Natural Resources, says it's crucial to be good stewards and understand your operation's need for water. He encourages people to treat water like any other commodity used on your property. For example, like electricity, you should monitor how much water you're using so you can budget accordingly.
