In the news (literally)!

Luke and Thad both made the news this week! Thad authored an article for Farm Week ahead of National FFA Week and Luke was featured in an article on graduate student research for NREC.  Illinois NREC is farmer funded and supports research on water quality and conservation practices across the state.  The project Luke is involved with focuses on tile water quality monitoring on-farm.  Luke is also wrapping up the second year of his master’s program at the University of Illinois, where he works in Dr. Andrew Margenot’s Soils Lab. Luke’s research focuses on nutrient use efficiency and soil nutrient stocks at on-farm sites mentioned earlier.  After graduating in May he plans to continue working with the university and be around to help on the farm in the busy season.
