Reducing Farm Field Runoff Application
Track: Agriculture
Authors: David J Healy, Michael Winchell

The Systematic Tool for Analyzing Resources (STAR),is a web-based modeling tool for simulating the impacts of alternative conservation practices applied across individual farms to help government scientists conduct more efficient resource assessments. STAR incorporates the APEX,an agronomic/water quality simulation model, to help determine the applicability and effectiveness of a range of farm-scale nutrient management and conservation plans.
