  • Aerials of the Braes of Doune wind farm near Stirling, Scotland. This wind farm is visible from Stirling Castle, making it somewhat controversial. Other concerns are the siting in moorland that is environmentally sensitive. Completed in 2007, the farm has 36 Vestas V80 2.0 megawatt wind turbines with a total capacity of 72MW.

  • Tug of war at the Lonach Gathering. The Lonach Highlanders are members of The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society, made up of men from the Strathdon area of Aberdeenshire in Scotland.

  • Wes Robbins, a Soil Conservationist with the SCS, tests soil moisture using a meter attached to burried gypsum blocks.  The block's conductivity varies with its saturation making the moisture testing possible.  Robbins has encouraged farmers in this arid region of eastern Colorado near Burlington to use the blocks so they can irrigate more effectively.  Robbins is in a low till field under one of the center pivot systems they converted to LEPA (Low Energy Precesion Application) water nozzles.

  • Low energy precision irrigation (LEPA) nozzles watering a field in Kansas. Such nozzles save water by applying wth water close to the ground, rather than spraying it into the air which can cause great losses due to evaporation of precious Ogallala Aquifer water.

  • Obsolete center pivot irrigation systems piled up on a junkyard, remnants of older irrigation technology. New systems save water rendering the old systems uneconomical. The energy cost of pumping water from declining well levels makes it imperative to use the most water-efficient technology.

Acacia auriculiformis (Fabaceae), commonly known as Auri, Earleaf acacia, Earpod wattle, Northern black wattle, Papuan wattle, Tan wattle, is a fast-growing, crooked, gnarly and thorny tree in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. It grows up to 30m tall. Acacia auriculiformis has about 47 000 seeds/kg. This plant is raised as an ornamental plant, as a shade tree and it is also raised on plantations for fuelwood throughout southeast Asia Oceana and in Sudan. Its wood is good for making paper, furniture and tools. It contains tannin useful in animal hide tanning. [from Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_auriculiformis]<br />

http://www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/sea/Products/AFDbases/af/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=10: Products: Fodder: Not widely used as fodder, but in India 1-year-old plantations are browsed by cattle. Apiculture: The flowers are a source of pollen for honey production. Fuel: A major source of firewood, its dense wood and high energy (calorific value of 4500-4900 kcal/kg) contribute to its popularity. It provides very good charcoal that glows well with little smoke and does not spark. Fibre: The wood is extensively used for paper pulp. Plantation-grown trees have been found promising for the production of unbleached kraft pulp and high-quality, neutral, sulphite semi-chemical pulp. Large-scale plantations have already been established, as in Kerala, India, for the production of pulp. Timber: The sapwood is yellow; the heartwood light brown to dark red, straight grained and reasonably durable. The wood has a high basic density (500-650 kg/m³), is fine-grained, often attractively figured and finishes well. It is excellent for turnery articles, toys, carom coins, chessmen and handicrafts. Also used for furniture, joinery, tool handles, and f

  • Center pivot irrigation system in Kansas designed to save water from the Ogallala Aquifer. A "L.E.P.A." (Low Energy Precision Application) nozzle sends out streams of water close to the ground, thereby reducing evaporation by up to 50 percent or more.
