Technical Session #204<br />
PERSPECTIVES AND INNOVATIONS IN SOIL AND<br />
WATER ENGINEERING – INVITED PRESENTATIONS<br />
Tuesday, June 22 – 9:30AM-12:00PM<br />
Location: 304<br />
Moderator: Indrajeet Chaubey<br />
This invited session will include presentations by some <strong>of</strong> the leading<br />
researchers in the field <strong>of</strong> soil and water conservation engineering. These talks<br />
will include discussions on the latest innovations and challenges in the area <strong>of</strong><br />
evapotranspiration and crop water requirements, drainage water management,<br />
identification <strong>of</strong> sediment source areas in agricultural watersheds, and<br />
agricultural best management practices for water quality improvements. To<br />
give an opportunity for the conference attendees to participate in this session,<br />
no other Soil and Water Engineering Division session is planned during this<br />
period.<br />
Technical Session #215<br />
CROP STORAGE AND HANDLING RESEARCH:<br />
CAPABILITIES AND NEEDS IN THE UNITED STATES<br />
– INVITED PRESENTATIONS<br />
Tuesday, June 22 – 9:30AM-12:00PM<br />
Location: 318<br />
Moderator: Lester Pordesimo, Mark Casada<br />
Crop postharvest technology has matured as a sub-discipline within the field <strong>of</strong><br />
agricultural and food process engineering over the last several decades. We<br />
could even argue that a significant portion <strong>of</strong> the engineering and scientific<br />
talent in food engineering and bioprocessing had their roots in crop<br />
postharvest technology. Now we ask: what are the new challenges in this subdiscipline<br />
and what needs to be done to maintain the high level <strong>of</strong> technical<br />
competence in crop postharvest technology Certainly, there has been a trend<br />
for agricultural engineering students to focus their abilities on the current hot<br />
topic — processing <strong>of</strong> biomass. It appears that we are quickly losing skilled<br />
personnel in the traditional postharvest area <strong>of</strong> grains and oilseeds and<br />
maintaining a high level <strong>of</strong> scientific and technical competence may become an<br />
issue. Knowledge about the capabilities, needs, and challenges in this mature<br />
area <strong>of</strong> research may convince students and researchers to maintain a<br />
peripheral interest in handling grains. This is the goal <strong>of</strong> this session.<br />
• A Historical Perspective and Conundrums <strong>of</strong> Grain Storage and Handling –<br />
Marvin Paulsen<br />
• Grain Quality or Quantity, and Why both matter to you – an industry<br />
perspective – Bob Marlowe<br />
• Research/Capacility Needs in Grain Postharest – Technology needs from an<br />
industry perspective – Tim Sullivan<br />
• Education and Technical Assistance for the Grain Industry – Ken Hellevang<br />
• Broadening Engineers’ Scope <strong>of</strong> Knowledge to Improve Post-Harvest Grain<br />
Handling and Storage – Terry Siebenmorgen<br />
Technical Session #220<br />
CHINA EXCHANGE<br />
Tuesday, June 22 – 9:30AM-12:30PM<br />
Location: 326<br />
Moderator: Yubin Lan<br />
China Exchange is a jointly sponsored session by the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Agricultural and Biological Engineers (<strong>ASABE</strong>) and the Association <strong>of</strong> Overseas<br />
Chinese Agricultural, Biological and Food Engineers (AOCABFE). The purpose<br />
<strong>of</strong> this session is to provide a forum for sharing and exchanging visions,<br />
experiences and new ideas for promoting and developing scholarly cooperation<br />
activities between the institutions or individuals in China and in other<br />
countries in the areas <strong>of</strong> agricultural, biological and food engineering.<br />
