A Comparative Assessment Of Soil Characteristics Between Forests And Urban Lawns, Remigio Casanova, Stephanie Huerta, Lukia Kalugin, Garrison Layne, Valerie Pacheco
Undergraduate Research Conference
Objectives
• Examine the differences in soil characteristics between a recreational lawn and a forest
• Make comparisons between a forest and lawn sampling area from a visual standpoint to observe a difference in what vegetation the soil supports.
• Collect data through on on-site and in in-laboratory methods.
• Interpret the results by examining the collected data and looking for patterns.

Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
The ability to harvest moist forage as hay gives Kentucky producers many advantages, including timely harvest, higher forage quality, and less weathering loss over hay systems. The baleage system allows producers to utilize commonly available forage equipment (mowers, rakes, balers) rather than requiring choppers and silo structures or bags. Making high quality baleage requires timely access to bale wrappers.
Assessing Water Policy Implications Of The Changing Agriculture In New Mexico, Trevor A. Birt
Assessing Water Policy Implications Of The Changing Agriculture In New Mexico, Trevor A. Birt
Shared Knowledge Conference
Agriculture is the dominant water sector in New Mexico, responsible for more than 80% of water withdrawals in 2015 (USGS 2018). Water policy needs to be extremely adaptive and informed to meet the needs of not only farmers, but cities, industry and riparian uses. Since 1840, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has conducted census surveys assessing all levels of agriculture. These data are physically published at the county, state, and national level on a 5-year cycle, detailing various material counts such as acreage, yields, and water usage, as well as socioeconomic estimates of farm costs, revenues, and hired workers. …
