Today is #WorldWaterDay. Water is essential for farming — and life on Earth. Here are a few ways Weiland Farms is working to help protect this precious resource. 1. Strategically planting vegetation near bodies of water, which naturally filters out contaminants. This helps reduce potential risks related to water regulations and treatment costs. 2. Honing the types and timing of our nutrient applications. The goal is to help plants absorb exactly what they need, when they need it, which minimizes excess nutrients in our waterways. 3. Naturally sourcing one-third of our nitrogen, which drastically reduces our reliance on synthetically supplied alternatives. This helps improve soil health, which can improve water retention capabilities. Taking these steps towards a more natural approach not only helps us farm more sustainably, it helps us be more efficient. Meaning we make every drop count. #WaterActions #SustainableFarming
