60 years ago, on July 17, 1964, Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Water Resources Research Act of 1964, enabling scientists to research, investigate, experiment, and train in the water fields and fields affected by water!

This created Water Resources Research and Technology Institutes at our land grant universities throughout the land.

Congratulations to Gabi Bolwerk for being the National Winner for the National Association of County Agricultural Agents Communications Award!

By integrating both crops and livestock on the same acres, producers can improve soil health, increase farm financial resilience, potentially reduce synthetic fertilizer applications on crops, and fill seasonal gaps in livestock forage sources. To help educate Minnesota farmers about the benefits and implementation of crop and livestock integration, a group of Extension educators created a workshop series and accompanying workbook to provide education and engagement around integration topics.
