Evaluating Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Promising Tillage and Manure Application Practices at Borderview Farm
A research team at UVM, led by Dr. Carol Adair and Dr. Heather Darby, is evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of four different tillage approaches (conventional, strip, vertical, and no till) and two different methods of manure application (broadcast and injection). The goal is to determine the practices best suited for reducing greenhouse gas emission, improving carbon storage and limiting nitrogen losses.

Dr. Rachel Schattman, a USDA Northeast Climate Hub researcher, is the lead author of this study that looks at how farmers in the State of Vermont view climate change. The project was completed in 2016 as part of her doctoral research at the University of Vermont (UVM). Schattman worked with UVM faculty members David Conner and V. Ernesto Méndez through the Vermont Agricultural Resilience in a Changing Climate Initiative (VAR). The study bridges several key disciplines, including agriculture, sociology, and climate science. Results offer critical insights into different aspects of climate change adaptation on Vermont farms.
