	Discovery Farms in North Dakota Selected three agricultural operations for the program—two livestock feeding operations and one crop production system. Multi-year program designed to evaluate the effectiveness of management practices installed to address documented agricultural impacts to water quality. Basically monitoring agricultural runoff. Data collection includes: water quality (emphasis on nutrient and phosphorus loading), sediment loads, soil analysis, and meteorological information. Producers will coordinate with state and federal resource managers to implement the most feasible management practices for their agricultural system.
