Steve Nuest has been farming in Hancock Minnesota since 1997. He farms 5,000 acres of corn and Kidney beans. Cory Walker, District Conservationist, NRCS discusses with Steve the importance of using efficient and sustainable irrigation practices on his fields. Steve demonstrates how he uses his center pivot irrigation system and a new concept irrigation machine called the Rain Machine to apply water and other products directly to the base of his corn crops after they have grown.
