This isn't a shadow!!! The color changes in this field are from the changes in organic matter (higher water table lower in landscape, results in higher organic matter and darker color), plus soil erosion over time.
A new denitrifying bioreactor was installed in northern Dallas Co this week! #cleanwater #agdrainage
