| Gopher Soil Judging ready to head to Redfield, SD on a beautiful Sunday morning |
The team met bright and early in front of Borlaug Hall to leave for Redfield, SD. We arrived in Redfield highly motivated and ready to learn. After picking up the week's breakfast and dinner foods, we headed to our lodging just west of town (the Cowboy Inn - a house rented out by Mary Kay and Terry Jandel). We ate a welcome dinner with our Region V colleagues (University of Missouri, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska-Omaha, Kansas State University, Iowa State University, and South Dakota State University) and met the mayor of Redfield as well as numerous NRCS staff assisting with the contest. After a brief introduction to area geology and soils, we had a team meeting and retired for the evening.
Tomorrow brings the unique soils of the Glacial Lake Dakota plain.
We are at one with our texture triangles.
Ski-U-Mah!
