I am excited for our next AD webinar on Tuesday the 12th. Leaks impact CI score and the gas you generate. Learn about the latest technology in how they contribute to performance, how to catch them, and how big they are. iastate.zoom.us/meeting/regi…
At animal learning day ready to tell about the circle of manure. Manure application bean bag toss (get the manure injected, keep it out of the stream), make a vermi compost bin (recycle your food scraes like farmers use manure), and cover cropping can reduce sediment losses.
Are you ready for more great anaerobic digestion information? Today we have Dr. Stephanie Lansing talking about anaerobic digestion of food wastes. I'm excited; join us at 1 PM Central. extension.iastate.edu/ageng/…

Our latest Talkin Crap is out, From River to Tap. I got the chance to talk to Christina Murphy manager of West Des Moines Water Works, about drinking water in Des Moines and the treatment process.
A great conversation where I learned a ton.

We (the lab group) stopped by for an art exhibit and lecture tonight. Why? Because he was talking scientific data visualization in his art... and because you can see the slurrystore in his ag landscape, and when there is manure we want to give it a look... or a smell.
