Project Background
The objective of the project is to reduce these barriers so that EOF monitoring can be implemented on a more wide-spread basis through: 1) field demonstration of lower-cost automated sampling equipment through comparison with already-established automated sampling stations on Arkansas Discovery Farms and other MRBI monitoring locations and 2) help build the capacity of technical service providers, NRCS field personnel, County Agents, and crop consultants, to provide EOF through the development of a training and outreach program that can be utilized throughout the MRBI region.
