Greater Spaces, Better Places, Beth Bohn

Seek

The long, dusty road snakes through a windswept prairie where cattle graze and wheat and corn grow. It’s a familiar sight in western Kansas until the road ends and the earth opens, revealing the effects of more than 80 million years of wind and erosion on land that was once a seabed. Sedimentary outcroppings, some towering more than 100 feet, stretch for a mile, resembling ruins from an ancient walled city such as Jerusalem.

Faculty Focus: The Isolation Of Selling, Courtney Roszak

Seek

When Edward Nowlin and Doug Walker sat down with a whiteboard in 2016 to explore social isolation and its effects on sales representatives’ work performance, a worldwide pandemic was not on their radar. Nor did the Kansas State University College of Business Administration researchers expect the phrase “social isolation” to be mainstream or know how it would affect the direction of their research.

Explain It: Precipitation Use Efficiency, Charles Rice

Seek

Precipitation use efficiency involves designing cropping systems to use precipitation effectively. The first strategy prevents runoff. Increasing soil health with better soil structure helps intense rainfalls infiltrate the soil rather than run off the field and not be captured by the crop. The second strategy reduces surface evaporation. Keeping residue on the soil surface through no-till reduces wasteful evaporation. The third strategy eliminates nonproductive uptake of soil water by eliminating weeds. Continuous no-till cropping keeps the soil covered, reduces weeds and increases infiltration. Thus, precipitation is used for growing crops for forage or grain rather than for nonproductive uses.
