University of Wyoming Hosts Field Day on August 7
The University of Wyoming (UW) is inviting the public to attend its field day on August 7 at the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center (SAREC). The event, co-hosted by Eastern Wyoming College (EWC), will take place at 2753 State Highway 157 near Lingle, Wyoming.
The day starts with registration and refreshments at 8:30 a.m., followed by field tours and poster presentations at 9:30 a.m. UW faculty, staff, and students will share information about various agricultural research projects across Wyoming, covering topics like carbon markets, pulmonary hypertension in cattle, resilient forage systems, dry bean breeding, wildfire and invasive grasses, and drone use in predicting sugar beet yields. Attendees can also visit agricultural equipment vendor booths, view student and faculty research posters, and engage in discussions with the researchers.
At 11:45 a.m., lunch will be served. The afternoon session, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., will feature in-field demonstrations by local agricultural equipment dealerships showcasing new technology, including irrigation systems and drones equipped with ground-penetrating radar (GPR). A guest speaker from ALA Engineering will present autonomous cattle-feeding technology and discuss the company's work in self-driving systems and custom vehicles.
Throughout the day, three interns from EWC will share their summer experiences at the station. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP by contacting SAREC at [email protected] or (307) 837-2000. The event is free, open to all ages, and an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in agriculture and network with researchers and industry professionals.
Technology in agricultural advancements will be demonstrated during in-field presentations by local equipment dealerships from 1 pm to 3 pm. A guest speaker from ALA Engineering will showcase autonomous cattle-feeding technology and discuss the company's work in self-driving systems and custom vehicles.
