SUMMARY:11th International Drainage Symposium
DESCRIPTION:As a leader in edge-of-field conservation practice adoption\, the Soil and Water Conservation Society is partnering with the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) to help bring you the 11th International Drainage Symposium\, to be held in Des Moines\, Iowa\, August 30-September 2\, 2022. \nTwo days of sessions will highlight drainage research\, practice design\, implementation\, and policy. The third day of the symposium will feature field tours highlighting some of the innovative drainage work happening in the local area. The challenge of increasing agricultural production on the world’s poorly drained soils in a changing climate\, with ever-increasing water quality and quantity concerns\, will require technical\, economic\, policy\, and social perspectives. The symposium will provide an opportunity for the research\, agency\, industry\, and practitioner communities to interact\, share experiences\, and address emerging issues related to agricultural drainage. \nVisit www.swcs.org/22IDS for more information\, or to submit your abstract. Also available are details regarding exhibitor and sponsor opportunities and a draft agenda-at-a-glance.

SUMMARY:Iowa Learning Farms Webinar: Species Selection for Bioreactor Woodchip Media Affects Denitrification Performance
DESCRIPTION:Aug. 31 presentation features Iowa State University assistant professor and extension forestry specialist\, Billy Beck discussing woodchip selection for bioreactors \nAmes\, Iowa – The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Aug. 31 at noon CDT will feature Billy Beck\, assistant professor and extension forestry specialist at Iowa State University. Beck’s research and extension activities focus on utilizing tree and forest resources to address water quality and quantity issues in the agricultural Midwest. \nIowa Learning Farms is an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conservation and water quality education program. \nIn the webinar\, “Woodchips and Water Quality: Can Select Tree Species Enhance Performance of Denitrifying Woodchip Bioreactors?\,” Beck will present the results from a study that investigated the impact of select woodchip species in lab-scale denitrifying bioreactors. He will also discuss current practices whereby bioreactors often utilize woodchip media of unknown species composition that frequently leads to poor and unpredictable nitrate removal performance. Drawing on the study results\, Beck will highlight how utilization of select species may promote sustainable forest management statewide by encouraging on-farm or local production of species needed to deliver the best denitrification performance of bioreactors. \n“Every species of tree has a unique combination of ‘extractives’ such as tannins\, oils and resins\, and we are learning that woodchips from some perform better than others for nitrate removal in bioreactors\,” said Beck. “Utilization of bioreactor media\, grown on-farm through sustainable forestry practices\, may enhance water quality AND add value to the overall agricultural enterprise through leveraging the largely untapped potential of trees\, forests and forestry on farms.” \nParticipants in Iowa Learning Farms Conservation Webinars are encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. People from all backgrounds and areas of interest are encouraged to join. \n  \nWebinar Access Instructions \nTo participate in the live webinar\, shortly before noon CDT Aug. 31: \nClick this URL\, or type this web address into your internet browser: https://iastate.zoom.us/j/364284172 \nOr\, go to https://iastate.zoom.us/join and enter meeting ID: 364 284 172 \n  \nOr\, join from a dial-in phone line: \nDial: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 646 876 9923 \nMeeting ID: 364 284 172 \n  \nThe webinar will also be recorded and archived on the ILF website\, so that it can be watched at any time.
