Stroud Water Research Center
Jim Harbach has practiced no-till farming for 30 years and has documented how his soils can better withstand the extreme weather swings associated with climate change.
Stroud Center scientists are pioneering a scientifically valid way to simulate rain to study the links between farming practices and healthy streams.
Learn how farmers and scientists can work together to maintain the health of soil and streams. Episode 2 in the “Stories from the Streams” series from WHYY TV12.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has awarded more than $1.9 million to the Stroud Center for watershed restoration projects.
Stroud™ Water Research Center recently participated in field days to share our knowledge about farming for clean fresh water.
Join us for in-field presentations and demonstrations about a soil health study comparing organic, conservation, and conventional farming practices.
“I feel like the farm is our living laboratory, and I look at farming like an entomologist. It’s an integrated system, and I’m never bored.”
The Stroud Center is engaged in research aimed at creating and testing new land-management practices to address issues raised by increased weather extremes.
Approximately 95 percent of a neonicotinoid application washes into soil, streams, lakes, and elsewhere into the surrounding environment.
