Do you have drainage control structures? Try this new slick app for stop log settings! Part of our @USDA_NRCS #CIG project for #Bioreactors and #SaturatedBuffers. We're working to improve management guidance.
Want help figuring out the stoplog settings for your @AgriDrainCorp water control structure? There’s an app for that. Check it out here: analytics.iasoybeans.com/coo… #ConservationDrainage

Catch a glimpse of an emerging practice on a farm near Lake City. The site is one of three evaluating drainage water recycling as part of a multi-year research project >> youtube.com/watch?v=z7mnNi61…
Quick behind the scenes look from @IowaSoybeans at a drainage water recycling research site near Lake City while up shooting some video with @ISUAgWaterMgmt. Stay tuned to @ialearningfarms for information on the virtual field day coming up next month. youtu.be/z7mnNi61bow

The ISA RCFI team hit the road this week to get a glimpse at an emerging practice on a farm near Lake City. The site is one of three evaluating drainage water recycling as part of a multi-year research project. Keep an eye out for an upcoming behind the scenes look at the site!
Nice to get out to shoot some video with @ISUAgWaterMgmt on drainage water recycling for upcoming @ialearningfarms virtual field day as well as show some other @IowaSoybeans RCFI staff what we're doing to evaluate this practice. Look out for the virtual field day to learn more.

Great opportunity to support #WaterQuality by drinking craft beer at the roll out of the Born Here Brewed Here rye IPA🍺 at @ExileBrewingCo in partnership with @IAwateralliance iaagwater.org/born-here-brew…

Installing an edge-of-field practice has never been easier now that funding is available to add a saturated buffer to your land if you live in the North Raccoon River Watershed. Learn more and get the process started here >> iasoybeans.com/research/nort…
After many fits and starts, results of early #Bioreactor work in SD are finally published. N load reductions were 39% to 89%. Thanks to @sdsoybean, @sdcorn, EDWDD, @SDFarmBureau, and @NRCS_SD for funding. Link to article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fpzO…
Great friend, colleague, and former classmate—was so pleased to see him get this honor
Congrats to Matt Helmers, professor, #agriculture and biosystems #engineering, @IowaStateU, for being named a 2022 @ASABEorg Fellow! Helmers was honored for his significant contributions in developing drainage management practices. ow.ly/caxc50KC5P3
#22IDS tour day was a nice opportunity to show off some #ConservationDrainage work happening in Iowa—#SaturatedBuffer & #DrainageWaterRecycling (guest appearance by @mddukes and shout-out to @leetesdell ) youtu.be/QFdOP-UrTT0
Thanks for hosting a #22IDS stop at your farm! Great example of pairing in-field and edge-of-field #ConservationDrainage practices with monitoring to show positive impacts on #WaterQuality.
Thanks for coming out to Tesdell Century Farm today. @SWCSNews #22IDS #IDS22 @ISUAgWaterMgmt @IowaSoybeans @ISUExtension. Nice to meet our international visitors. Here's an idea: Intelligent ag drainage + saturated buffers + water quality data = actionable policies.

Great opportunity today to show #22IDS attendees some of the #ConservationDrainage work happening in Iowa to scale up implementation from batch and build projects to market-based approaches and emerging practice of #DrainageWaterRecycling
Great 1st day at #22IDS (reconvening of the drainage geeks)—inspiring opening panel, entertaining @FarmservicesLtd, Drainage Hall of Fame, and so much more. Looking forward to day2!
