The session invites oral presentations from all sectors of society but will emphasize participation of industry and consulting sector members. The presentations will focus on practice and application of our professions in consulting, extension, and industry.  Presentations may include: innovative solutions to client or regulatory concerns in consulting; implementation of new technologies in consulting; new university extension programs established to help farmers and consultants; university and industry partnerships or other collaboration examples; R&D leading to technology development; technologies already developed through R&D, and/or processes involved in the development of technologies. Presentations may also include new process development; R&D technology proof of concept, projects executed or in process, pilot studies, instrumentation for agronomic, crop, soil, and environmental applications. In some instances, applicants presenting results of application of published research in solving practical problems in the practice of our profession may be considered. 
A reception sponsored by BASF follows the session.
