As an industry, we’ve been using recycled plastics for decades. Not a couple years, decades. watertable.ag/67

"You take your recycle bin out & you wonder... is it ultimately just going to go to the landfill? We can take single-use plastic that might have a shelf-life measured in months & turn it into something that has a service life of over 100 years." - Dan Currence, @PPIplasticspipe

What industry uses more than 600 million pounds of recycled materials a year to make new product? Listen in on this edition of The Water Table to find out. 🎙️ watertable.ag/67

"Drainage is one of the only long-term, income-producing decisions a farmer can make that can basically last their entire career." - Jake Jenniges, Walnut Grove Branch President at @IntegrityBank 🎬 youtu.be/7wXtUl-4KWw

"I can’t control the markets, and I can’t control the weather. If I can control my efficiency and preserve my soil, I would go after that." - Eric Snodgrass, Principal Atmospheric Scientist at @NutrienLTD

"They don’t want you to touch groundwater or manage water, but they want you to reduce carbon footprint, & crop performance is about having the right amount of water at the right time." - Michael Swanson, Chief Agricultural Economist at @WellsFargo

"We were just coming out of the farm crisis in the late 80’s, and the technology was just exploding. One of the really key portions of that was the yield monitors over tile lines." - Kent Rodelius, President of @ADMCoalition

"I really do believe that the message we have is a powerful one; it’s a practical one, and the end goal could potentially save someone’s life." - Travis Albers, Drain Tile Safety Coalition

"If you’re going to stick a ton of money into it, you’re going to want to make sure you took care of what’s under the ground first." - Karl Guetter, @PrinscoInc Ag Segment Lead 🎙️ watertable.ag/66 youtu.be/7wXtUl-4KWw
