Farmland Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Agricultural BMPs are cost-effective, practical actions that landowners can take to improve soil health and water quality while maintaining or enhancing agricultural production. The UTRCA has developed a series of fact sheets, including several case studies and videos focusing on a variety of BMPs that differ in form and function.
Funding may be available to help implement agricultural BMPs on your land:
Prioritizing Best Management Practices for Phosphorus Management
In November 2021, Dr. Merrin Macrae of the University of Waterloo presented her research on conservation practices for controlling phosphorus losses to the Ontario farming community. Dr. Macrae has extensive experience in this realm and her presentation contained a lot of useful information. UTRCA staff worked with Dr. Macrae to create a fact sheet: Optimizing Conservation Practices for Phosphorus Management.
