As summer approaches, attention turns again to algal blooms in the Western Lake Erie Basin, driven partly by legacy phosphorus—nutrients that have built up in soils and sediments from past agricultural practices. A new series of Field Day podcasts by the Ohio Farm Bureau explores this issue, emphasizing how long-term conservation practices are needed to see meaningful water quality improvements due to the delayed response of natural systems. Featuring experts from major research institutions, the podcast covers topics such as phosphorus aging, hot spots, soil testing, and the impact of streambank erosion on phosphorus runoff.
