Bioreactors and Your Bottom Line

Hole in the ground with an installed bioreactor

Produced with contributions by John McMaine , former Griffith Endowed Assistant Professor & SDSU Extension Water Management Engineer.

Why are bioreactors unpopular and what can we do to incentivize farmers to put them in?

John McMaine and Anthony Bly discuss bioreactors:

what they are,
who can benefit from them,
why they are important and
what can be done to increase implementation of this practice.

This week’s guest speakers are Laura Christensen with the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois, Keegan Kult with the Ag Drainage Management Coalition, and Gary Feyereisen with the United States Department Agriculture Agricultural Research Services.
