The 3600 Series Pulvi-Mulcher from Brillion features wider working widths, increased trash clearance and reduced downtime in the field. The series is available in 21', 25', 30' and 36' working widths. The 30' model weighs 80% more than the popular WL360 for more clod crushing power. The 36' unit is the widest Pulvi- Mulcher offered by Brillion. All 3600 Series models feature 8" roller axles with heavy-duty bearings that improve reliability and reduce maintenance interruptions in the field. The design includes three rows of two-piece edge bent s-tines on overall 6" spacing. 25" of under frame clearance improves trash flow through the machine. A leveling harrow in front of the rear roller helps level ridges left by the shanks. New to the 3631 series is the 24" Notched Ductile Iron wheel to provide even more clod crushing power with its heavy weight.

"Is there a way to start thinking about putting aside some water or storing some water rather than using 100% every year?" Edwards adds that there are also policy implications for his home state of North Carolina and other areas in the eastern U.S. "North Carolina is projected to have 10 to 15% longer dry spells in future years due to a changing climate," he says. "Irrigation offers one way to deal with that. But to provide for the sustainable management of depletable natural resources, the state should consider developing water rights and groundwater governance frameworks." The paper appears in Environmental Research Letters. Steven M. Smith at the Colorado School of Mines is the paper's corresponding author. Support for the work was provided by the National Science Foundation and the USDA.
