UW Discovery Farms virtual conference helps farmers with soil solutions Gloria Hafemeister, Correspondent PIGEON FALLS, Wis. – Extreme weather conditions are becoming more of an expected norm in our weather forecasts. University of Wisconsin Discovery Farms' edge-of-field monitoring stations are continuously capturing new data from extreme rainfall to less memorable precipitation events. During the second of a series of virtual Discovery Farms meetings, co-director of the Discovery Farms Program Amber Radatz shared what has been discovered through these monitoring stations. She was joined by Wisconsin dairy grazier Rick Adamski and Minnesota crop farmer Brock Olson, both of whom shared what they have learned through some of their on-farm experiments.
