Join us on October 28 to get a close-up look at edge-of-field practices including an oxbow, saturated buffer, blind inlet, and phosphorus trap.
The South Fork Water Shed Alliance is welcoming the public to take part in an upcoming field day focused on edge-of-field nutrient management practices.
Speakers include Matthew Streeter, Iowa Geological Survey; Ken Wacha and Derek Carney, USDA National Lab for Agriculture and the Environment; and Jerren Sears, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Learn more about funding, installation, and maintenance of highly effective nutrient reduction structures.
The event will take place at the Royle and Jo Duncan Field south of Alden. From Hwy 20, take on S27 north, go one mile west on D25 to EE Ave, turn south 1/4 mile on EE. The field will be on the west side of road before bridge.
A complimentary lunch will be provided. RSVPs appreciated for planning purposes.
Due to the nature of the event, it will be highly weather dependent. Check our website or Facebook page the week of the event for any updates.
