Both days are identical in content. \n\nThe first workshop will be held at the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Webster County office in Fort Dodge on June 16.\nThe second workshop will be held at the ISU Extension and Outreach Linn County office in Hiawatha on June 18. \n\nThe full-day event “Installing Drainage Water Quality Practices: An Iowa Batch and Build Contractor Workshop” will offer a detailed overview of bioreactors\, saturated buffers\, oxbows\, wetlands and other water quality improvement practices. Installation best practices and construction requirements will be discussed\, along with how to submit online bids for batch and build projects. \n  \nKapil Arora\, field agricultural engineer with ISU Extension and Outreach\, said the workshops will feature a panel discussion and a farm visit where these practices are installed. \n  \n“Drainage contractors\, watershed coordinators\, technical service providers\, agency staff\, drainage consultants\, producers\, landowners and others interested in the planning and installation of water quality practices for the improvement of farmland drainage will all benefit from attending these workshops\,” said Arora. \n  \nDiscussions during the workshops will be led by Chris Hay with Hay Water Solution LLC\, Jeremy Bril and Tanner Puls with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship\, Sarah Anderson with the United States Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service\, Keegan Kult with the Agricultural Drainage Management Coalition and Arora.

SUMMARY:PFI: Drainage Water Recycling and Double Cropping
DESCRIPTION:Mark and Melissa Schleisman and their family raise popcorn\, field corn\, soybeans\, rye\, wheat\, oats\, cattle and hogs at M&M Farms in Calhoun County\, Iowa. Soil and water conservation are a priority for the family. They use cover crops on all their fields\, grazing the covers whenever possible. Over the past five years\, they have worked with local organizations to install two wetlands that filter tile drainage\, which can then be used to irrigate fields. \n  \nThe Schleismans are excited to show their newest wetland project\, which will be used to irrigate popcorn in surrounding fields. To further explore soil-building practices that improve water infiltration\, they also double-crop wheat and soybeans. Come see how they are working toward their goal of using conservation practices while making cash flow.
