Episode 76 | Addressing Nutrient Loss Through Conservation: Precision Conservation Management (PCM)
In episode 76, Precision Conservation Management (PCM) director Greg Goodwin, conservation specialist Lou Liva, and Stark County farmer Noah Forlines discuss how the PCM program works with farmers to collect field-level data and return it to them in a usable format. The conversation focused on how PCM combines conservation and profitability through detailed data analysis, gathering information pass-by-pass from the farm. The field-level data helps farmers improve their economic and environmental performance without requiring changes in their practices. The data is also organized into an annual report, allowing farmers to compare their local performance and better understand their own operations.
