Precision Variable Rate Irrigation in Minnesota
Todd Pollema, Farm Manager and Taylor Thompson, Aid Technician at Central Lakes College in Staples Minnesota demonstrate their precision variable rate center pivot irrigation system to Ryan Galbreath, State Resource Conservationists, NRCS. They demonstrate how the low-pressure irrigation system works on their kidney bean field. They explain how the major components work using the AgSense Wagnet apps on their phones. They show how the precision irrigation system conserves water by controlling how individual towers apply preset amounts of water. They explain how the low pressure system using large droplet size decreases water lost to evaporation. They also demonstrate how they use a soil moisture gauge to verify the amount of water applied to fields. And Ryan talks about how other producers who may want to conserve limited water resources can take advantage of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) at their local NRCS office.

Rancher Brad Bjerken shows how he has improved prairie chicken habitat on his 3,800 acre B-B Ranch in Clay County, Minnesota. He discusses with Jeff Duchene, State Grazing Specialist with NRCS, how he rotationally grazes his 120 cows on several large paddocks. This allows him to rest portions of his pastures resulting in varying amounts of grass cover throughout his ranch, crucial to prairie ch...

    They're doing great things! Awesome work. My grandfather has farmed 60 Years in SE Kansas. 90 now, he hires it out. I wish I'd learned to farm earlier in my 20s as he's to old to teach it now. I guess I'll learn as I go. He also no tills the last 15 years I'd say. I've been very interested in doing cover crops and such. I've watched dave brants cover crop seminars online. Awesome to see more young people like me interested in soil health and thinking about future generations and the land. Our farm been in the family since 1944.

    Compelling information and demonstration. Producers across our country are opening their eyes and like Gabe Brown says the idea is to sign your name on the back side of checks and fewer on the front. And take nobody’s word for it because it’s your livelihood at risk but start small and use all the great resources available on line and at your local FSA or NCRS and America thanks you for the food we eat.

    If anyone's interested in making soil healthy Tim Thompson has a new video out on it, possibly a great way to kickstart this kind of operation. The video is basically showing clay soil vitalised to the point of roots and fungus down 3ft, the fungus really promotes the spread of roots as it follows it away from the surface.

    In place of PLASTIC why not use HEMP FABRIC? Seems thos system of dumping plastics into the ground which will eventually disintegrate and flow into the rivers & end up in the ocean plastic gyre! This plastic serves to make that problem worse! Use a HEMP FABRIC or some natural mesh around the hemp to hold the wood chips??

  • @yowhatitlooklike
    @yowhatitlooklike 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Once the bioreactor reaches the end of it's lifespan, can you scoop out the leftover material and just replace with fresh woodchips for another go? Are the used up woodchips viable as organic fertilizer, or are there issues with the material? Also is the efficacy of filtration something that should be monitored, or do you simply assume after 10-20 years that you should replace it?

    • @minnesotanrcs
      @minnesotanrcs 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your interest in the Denitrifying Bioreactor conservation practice. Yes, once the woodchips are degraded and either inhibiting flow through or no longer degrading nitrate within the reactor they can simply be removed and replaced. The old, used woodchips may be incorporated into the soil or spread as mulch to crop lands or gardens, although they should not be relied upon for fertilizer. If the reactor is functioning correctly the nitrate (NO3) will be off-gassed to the atmosphere as nitrogen gas (N2) and thus there should be minimal nitrogen contained within them. On flow and filtration, these bioreactors are not designed to filter sediment and/organic matter particulates. They are intended to degrade soluble nitrate to nitrogen gas. That said, flow through the reactor is expected to gradually decrease over time with the inadvertent accumulation of fine sediment from the drainage system and the eventual decay of the woodchips as they are consumed by the reaction. Flow through the reactor should be monitored to assure that it is still treating an adequate amount of the system flow as opposed bypassing it without treatment. Finally, the lifespan of the woodchips may vary depending on species, dimensions, and environmental factors such as precipitation and temperature. If you have further questions or interests, please don't hesitate to contact your local NRCS field office to get in touch a conservationist to learn more about this and other practices as well as the technical and financial assistance we provide to implement them. Thank you!
