“The webinar is going to be a little different in that the topics have been prerecorded as videos. We’re going to broadcast them to the participants and stop in between the different topics where I’ll be available to take questions. It’s something a little new that we haven’t tried before,” said Hall. The webinar will start by discussing ways to increase the protein in late-season crops through nitrogen while avoiding leaf burn. “The topics that we are covering are things such as trying to increase wheat grain protein with late-season applications of nitrogen. In particular, we’re going to discuss our comparisons between using straight UAN and dissolved urea, and the reason dissolved urea has some interest is because it’s supposed to be softer on the crop. When you’re spraying nitrogen on the crop late-season you have a risk of leaf burn and if you’re increasing grain protein in your crop because you’ve decreased yield, leaf burn becomes counterproductive
DECATUR â Artistic creations are not limited to one medium.
Chicago artist Dan Addingtonâs paintings, using wax and other pigments, will be featured through his exhibit Memory and Meaning in the downtown Anne Lloyd Gallery throughout March.
âThere is a beautiful sense of light,â he said about his creations.
Since wax is translucent, the process allows for various layering techniques. âHow much pigment you add to it is going to determine how opaque the surface is,â Addington said. âIf you just add a little bit of pigment, you can see the layer below and the color it was. The colors are mixing optically.â
The plan defines a purpose for the Coalition of providing education and training to address regional labour market needs, preparing learners for employment and further education, and supporting the sustainable social, environmental, and economic development of employers and communities.
