UNIVERSITY FARM GETS WATER TUBING

Southeast Missouri State University's agriculture department has received a donation from Buchheit Inc. and Vanguard Plastics Inc.

Buchheit's and Vanguard have donated 10,500 feet of water tubing. The tubing will be used for a water grazing system at Southeast's Demonstration Farm. Buchheit is the regional sales and service representative for Vanguard Plastic products.

Dr. William Ellis, professor of agriculture and demonstration manager, said the farm will be subdivided into 39 separate paddocks, ranging from five to seven acres each. Each paddock will have its own water-freeze-proof fountain thanks to the donation, he said.
