Silage Pile and Soil Infiltration Lab

Fall means silage pills around this part of the state and we had the opportunity to help a neighbor tarp and put tires on their pile this week.  The students worked hard and enjoyed some great donuts afterwards!
 A couple of the boys showing how things are done!
 We researched water infiltration rates in the soil at a couple of different sites around campus last week.  We learned that the ground was very hard and that we needed a bigger hammer and different pipe for some of the more compacted areas.

We have had a beautiful couple of weeks as far as weather and we hope for a few more before the snow flies!
