We want to send a big thanks to all the farmers in the watershed doing everything they can to improve water quality and protect Lake Carmi. Pictured to the left is a manure injector being used on Gallup Road. The benefit of injecting manure rather than spreading it is that the risk of runoff is reduced, preventing phosphorus in the manure from getting into our waterways during rain events. This method locks the nutrients in the soils where they are meant to be to fertilize the crops being grown.
