One day conference to discuss the latest research and technology in tile drainage water management at the Miner Institute in Chazy, NY. This conference is co-sponsored by the Miner Institute, NY NRCS and LCBP.
The practice of installing tile drainage in poorly drained agricultural fields to improve workability, crop productivity and profitability has been a key management practice for more than 100 years. Tile drainage can offer multiple agronomic and environmental benefits. Under certain conditions, drainage may accelerate the loss of certain nutrients and site-specific practices may be needed to reduce losses to surface waters.
Please join us from 10 AM – 3 PM to discuss the latest research and technology in tile drainage water management.
Speakers Include:
• Dr. Matthew Helmers, Iowa State University —Best management practices for water quality
in tile-drained systems
• Larry Geohring, Cornell University — Historical and current drainage research in NNY
• Dr. Bianca Moebius-Clune, Cornell University — Using Adapt-N to minimize nitrogen
leaching to tile drainage water
• Peter Wright, NY USDA-NRCS — Use of Subsurface Drainage in Conservation Practices
Using the NYS Drainage Guide
• Dr. Eric Young, Miner Institute — Tile drainage research at Miner Institute
The meeting is free and open to the public.There is no registration fee, although space is limited so please pre-register by emailing Rachel Dutil at dutil@whminer.com or 518-846-7121, ext. 115. Bring your own lunch or purchase a hot lunch at Miner for $5.
