Nov 14, 2025

The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Nov. 19, at noon CST will feature Spencer Pech, civil engineer, ISG, and Chris Hay, owner and principal, Hay Water Solutions. Pech provides data-driven solutions for clients throughout the Midwest. His focus on agricultural water management is driven by a passion for providing win-win solutions to address agricultural and environmental resource concerns. Hay’s current work is focused on addressing the challenges of agricultural subsurface drainage and mitigating water quality impacts from agriculture.

In the webinar, “Economic Analysis of Drainage Water Recycling Systems,” Pech and Hay will draw on deployed projects to highlight the benefits of the practice and illustrate how drainage water recycling systems capture and store tile drainage water to be repurposed for irrigation that supports consistent crop production.

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
