This major will prepare students for careers in agricultural equipment management, agronomy, and companies working with the management and analysis of agricultural data.” Kringen is among the SDSU Extension staff and SDSU faculty to discuss various research projects focused in the areas of agriculture and natural resources. Kringen is on a team involved in an onsite, on-going tile drainage research project that will be highlighted during the course of the day. “Subsurface drainage has been shown to improve crop production in poorly drained soils, but can have downstream water quality impacts with the removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from the soil profile,” Kringen explained. One of the highlighted studies includes a twostage tile drainage treatment system containing a denitrifying woodchip bioreactor (installed in 2012) and a phosphorus removal bed (installed 2015). The woodchip bioreactor is being used in conjunction with a phosphorus adsorption filter to simultaneously reduce the N and P load in a subsurface drainage system. A recentlyinstalled saturated buffer designed to reduce nitrogen in tile drainage water will also be showcased. New table-top and poster displays have been developed to help demonstrate these edge-of-field practices and explain their effectiveness in reducing nutrient loading to receiving waters of the state. niGrow Park it in the CLASSIFIEDS and watch it go fast!

Pets left in vehicles with no owner in sight. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for this circumstance to be dangerous or even deadly. Even on a temperate day, the greenhouse effect of rolledup windows can heat up a car to 116 degrees F within an hour, according to the Humane Society.
