This week in Dr. Fears' class, we also visited to ASU Farm.
ASU’s Farm Complex is located off Aggie Road. It consists of 230 acres.
There are a lot of things produce in farm that we can find in the daily life.
The land that borders Stadium Boulevard contains research plots of corn, soybeans, milo, and cellulosic bio-fuel crops such as swithgrass, eastern gamagrass, and the giant grass called miscanthus. A herbicide symptomology training program is also conducted annually on the ASU farm.
Dr.Humphrey guided us to visit the farm and introduced many different products,such as soybean, canola, camelina and so on.
Dr Humphrey showed us how to use these products in multiple ways.
Stustainable Soybean Production
Sustainable Soybean Production meet the needs of the present, while improving the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.High-yield soybean crops can help feed a hungry and growing world with high-quality protein.
Bio-diesel
Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuelconverted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel. Biodiesel can also be used as a low carbon alternative to heating oil.
In Dr. Humphrey's lab, we saw how to process the bio-diesel.
