Sally Turpin and Kim Meyer were both raised on Wisconsin dairy farms, and then pursued further education in agriculture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison several years apart. Following graduation, they met while colleagues at a local fertilizer and agricultural supply co-op. As their careers progressed and they took on different roles, they maintained their friendship through their mutual passion for agriculture, a shared appreciation for the outdoors, and a love for kayaking. Sally first tried canoeing and kayaking at 4-H camp while growing up, and fell in love with whitewater kayaking after being introduced to it from a friend and then attending river trips through Mad City Paddlers. Kim canoed with friends when she was younger, and first bought a kayak as a way to escape the stress of work. Sally continues to engage with the agricultural community through advocacy efforts, while Kim serves as a conservation agronomist. |

Keeping Soil in the Field and Not in the River
Sylvania - main floor Sun 2:30pm-3:15pm
With many Wisconsin rivers meandering through agricultural land, you might be wondering what, if anything, is being done to help protect and improve their water quality. Actually, many farmers utilize conservation practices to protect the soil on their land and are even creating farmer-led watershed groups to work together towards this goal. Join Kim and Sally, two farm kids and fellow paddlers, as they discuss some of the practices used on the farm to keep the soil where it belongs, in the field and not in the river, as well as the work these watershed groups are doing.
