Outputs
Progress Report 4d Progress report. This report serves to document activities associated with a Grant (59- 3625-6-0124) given to support the 2006 National Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Conference that will be held August 15-17, 2006. Additional details of research can be found in the report for the parent CRIS 3625-12000-012-00D, Ecologically-Based Soil Management for Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Conservation. The funds allocated to the parent CRIS by the Office of Technology Transfer were transferred to the North Central SARE business office in July 2006 and are being used to cover publication costs associated with the Conference. This outreach activity benefits the parent CRIS as well as the entire Soil and Water Quality Research Unit and the National Soil Tilth Laboratory because it emphasizes our commitment to sustainable agricultural practices. It also provides an opportunity for our ARS scientists and technicians to be recognized for their contributions to sustainable agriculture. The latter is illustrated by our Unit sending one of the laboratorys technicians to demonstrate how earthworms and other soil fauna affect our soil resources for the youth education program associated with the Conference.
