SUMMARY:Iowa Learning Farms Webinar: From Rump to Runoff: Understanding Antimicrobial Resistance Risks and Mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Oct. 12 presentation features Iowa State University Postdoctoral Researcher\, Laura Alt discussing antimicrobial resistance in agroecosystems and potential impact on public health \nAmes\, Iowa – The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Oct. 12 at noon CDT will feature Laura Alt\, postdoctoral researcher at Iowa State University. Alt’s PhD research focused on characterizing and quantifying the effect that prairie strips may have on the fate and transport of pollutants moving with surface runoff and drainage water in agricultural watersheds. She is currently conducting research on the impact of agricultural management practices on microbes in the environment. \nIowa Learning Farms is an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conservation and water quality education program. \nIn the webinar\, “From Rump to Runoff: The Transport of Antimicrobial Resistance in Agricultural Ecosystems\,” Alt will discuss the characteristics of antimicrobial resistance as a pollutant\, its relationship with agricultural production and methods researchers utilize to track antimicrobial resistance within the broader environment. She will highlight the results of three research projects which investigated the role prairie strips play in reducing the movement of antimicrobial resistant contaminants within agroecosystems. In addition\, Alt will discuss the relationship between the movement of such contaminants and how they can affect public health. \n“The transport of antimicrobial resistant contaminants into food and water chains is one of the world’s most urgent public health issues that links the health of humans\, animals and the environment\,” said Alt. “Conservation practices such as prairie strips are proving to be viable tools to address these issues by intercepting and degrading manure-associated antibiotic resistance contaminants\, thereby inhibiting loss to waterways with a relatively low risk for accumulation of these contaminants in the prairie strip soils.” \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 Oct. 12: \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.

SUMMARY:Exploring a Pumped Bioreactor System for Improved Water Quality Virtual Field Day Set for October 20
DESCRIPTION:AMES\, Iowa – Iowa Learning Farms\, in partnership with the Iowa Nutrient Research Center and Conservation Learning Group\, will present a virtual field day on Thursday\, October 20 at 1 p.m. CDT. Join us for a live conversation with Iowa State University Ph.D. candidate\, Lindsey Hartfiel\, Michelle Soupir\, professor and associate chair for research\, department of agricultural and biosystems engineering\, Iowa State University and Natasha Hoover\, water quality research scientist at Iowa State University. \nIn recent years\, bioreactors have shown themselves to be efficient and dynamic tools for improving water quality through denitrification. Now\, a new innovation suggests an additional use for these bioreactors\, even when water isn’t flowing from the field tile drainage. This new design is a pumped bioreactor system with a pilot project installed just outside Ames. Pumping water through a bioreactor allows it to be used beyond the seasonal patterns of subsurface drainage\, extend its use to new applications\, and very possibly extend the life of the bioreactor itself. This virtual field day will explore the results of the design and discuss future plans for the project. \nParticipants in Iowa Learning Farms virtual field days are encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. People from all backgrounds and areas of interest are encouraged to join. \nVirtual Field Day Access Instructions:To participate in the live virtual field day\, shortly before 1:00 pm CDT on October 20\, click this URL: https://iastate.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUpduihpj8iE9ZHcjpsenc2DWQILG41wg0DOr visit http://www.iowalearningfarms.org for the registration link. \nOr\, join from a dial-in phone line:Dial: 1.312.626.6799     Meeting ID: 914 1198 4892 \nThe field day will be recorded and archived on the ILF website so that it can be watched at any time. The archive will be available at https://www.iowalearningfarms.org/virtual-field-day-archive. \nParticipants will be eligible for a Certified Crop Adviser board-approved continuing education unit (CEU). Information about how to apply to receive the credit will be provided at the end of the live field day.
