Abstract

Agriculture in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin (the Upper Mississippi Valley region, or UMV) is an important component of each state’s economy. Karst landscapes though in the UMV can be locally common and can complicate agricultural activities. Complications include thin and rocky soil, nutrient and fertilizer management concerns, and effects on groundwater resources. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for agricultural activities have historically been written for surface water concerns, with minimal consideration for the interconnection between surface and groundwater in karst areas. This chapter documents the concerns of higher livestock concentrations in karst landscapes and presents examples (and case studies) of approaches and innovative techniques to minimize agriculture’s environmental impacts in karstic areas. The goal of this chapter is to provide helpful information that will facilitate changes in agricultural practices in karstic landscapes of the UMV that will aid in protecting groundwater and soil resources.
