There is a Penn State Extension ag water tile drainage booth this year! Come see me off of W 11 Street. I'll be here all week! Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences PSU Ecosystems

Thrilled to get a new drainage slide rule at the ISU Extension and Outreach Drainage School. Been waiting 15 years for another one. (And small shout out to U of MN Extension, too! We’re all in the same watershed.)

Welcome Carolina Diaz Garcia to Illinois Sustainable Technology Center!🔸🔹 Carolina's advice: "Stay open to learning from everyone. Solutions to complex problems can be simpler than we think, but we often miss them by looking through a narrow lens." More: loom.ly/R280CJw

"We need to be careful if you're over-fertilizing simply because it makes you feel better. That's potentially one of the reasons why we've had issues with some of the nitrogen loss in the environment." -Brad Carlson, U of M Ext

Talked to a central Iowa farmer this week who is considering cover crops for first time. He plants soybeans in 15" rows. Any advice for him with narrow rows? He may do winter wheat or rye for the cover and incorporate with VT.

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum reminded me how thankful I am for advances in agriculture and science since 1874. #WalnutGroveMN #OnTheBanksOfPlumCreek

A good summary of Ontario Agricultural College research results on cover crops and N2O emissions. Thanks Wagner-Riddle Lab and Ontario Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness . fieldcropnews.com/2024/08/crop-r…

Water sampling is giving us the answers at constructed wetlands on farms. With the results we are creating the best conditions for wetlands to remove nitrogen from the water cycle. terrain.org.au/monitoring-con… #wetlands #nitrogen #waterquality #reeftrust DCCEEW James Cook Uni Griffith University

Nothing like being put on the spot with a flow rate question. 😆 Thanks for the awesome personal tour of this large (and now pumped!) #bioreactor ISU Water Chicks Leigh Ann Long Taylor Vroman
