Wild Life Intern July 31st

July 31, 2018 by virginia.moerbe

This week at the Stiles Farm, I continued working on my vegetation surveys. The area that I am currently surveying was part of a prairie grass replanting effort over a decade ago and contains many native prairie grasses such as eastern gamagrass, indiangrass, and sideoats grama. The restoration of the native grassland habitat in this area likely contributed to the northern bobwhite sighting I had last week at one of my survey points. Due to a variety of factors including habitat loss, northern bobwhites have been absent from this area for years. This week I cleared an area adjacent to the survey point where I heard the bobwhite calling and set up a bait station with a game camera. From the data collected by the camera, we hope to get a better idea of the population density of northern bobwhites in this area.

Partnership Opportunities

Stiles Farm can run multiple projects at once thanks to the demonstration and research plot model. If you or your company would like to partner with Stiles Farm, we are looking for partnerships in long term conservation tillage and cover crop research, precision agriculture technologies, innovations in beef cattle production, the economics of small acreage horticulture production in the blacklands, and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) in agriculture production. For partnership ideas, contact Ryan Collett at (512) 898-2214 or rmcollett@ag.tamu.edu.
