Reinstall anchors, a data logger and mesh bags

May 16, 2006

1. Reinstalled 5 anchors, a data logger with a soil moisture sensor and a soil temperature sensor (5cm soil depth) and 15 mesh bags containing soybean residuals. GPS helped to find original spots where the anchors were located before we removed them.

2. Downloaded rain data from a rain guage data logger in Ron Risdal farm and then changed batterires of the rain guage data logger.
