SWROC Bell Museum Summer Camp
You may have heard that we are hosting a version of the Bell Museum summer camps, which have been widely popular at the North Central Research & Outreach Center... we are excited to share the registration form with you all today!
Here is some more information about the program at SWROC:
Drought brings drainage water recycling & crop resilience research opportunity
Hot and dry. Those words describe the 2021 growing season here at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center, as well as across much of Minnesota.
Redwood County, where the SWROC is located, spent much of the summer in the U.S. Drought Monitor’s moderate and extreme drought categories, with portions of the county reaching extreme drought levels at the end of July.
While the drought’s impact can only be seen as a negative for most corn and soybean growers in the region, the dry growing season presented exciting research opportunities for Professor Jeff Strock, who conducts drainage water quality research at the SWROC.
