The program will consist of presentations of results and updates of drainage research projects and related issues from university and agency researchers, and other stakeholders from Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. There will be a mini-symposium on a regional Conservation Innovation Project looking at saturated buffers and bioreactors, a mini-symposium on drainage water recycling, and updates on state science assessment. The final agenda is being developed and will be available soon.
