Peninsula Pride Farms members want you to see the latest technology used to protect surface and groundwater in Door and Kewaunee counties.

The organization's upcoming Conservation Conversation takes farmers and residents to Kinnard Farms in Casco, where a phosphorus removal system is being used to filter water running through a field's tile system. According to Ohio State University, the system uses materials like iron, aluminum, calcium, and other metal ions to absorb the phosphorus as the water passes through. Excess phosphorus is blamed for causing water quality issues that lead to algae blooms that can harm humans and wildlife. Barry Bubolz from the Natural Resources Conservation Service says the system is one of the only ones of its kind in Door and Kewaunee county, and it could be something other farmers should consider.

You can learn more about the process below or attend the Conservation Conversation on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Kinnard Farms.
