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

Back in the office but still energized from #22IDS. Amazing to talk drainage water recycling with Swedes 🇸🇪 and an Aussie 🇦🇺, bioreactors with a Brit 🇬🇧, nutrient reduction with a Dane 🇩🇰 and Latvian 🇱🇻, and learn about many great projects happening in the US 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦!

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

Finally catching my breath from a whirlwind #22IDS. Day 2 was another great day with thought provoking talk on Denmark experience with nutrient reduction (bonus Dane in foreground) and food for thought on drainage challenges for the next IDS

Lovely views this morning on my run to recharge and get ready for day 2 of #22IDS in beautiful downtown DSM

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!

With emphasis on getting bioreactors and saturated buffers installed, often lost is training on management of practices for the long term, so they perform as planned. Had good day training landowners in Rock Creek on management of the 16 edge-of-field practices in the watershed.
