After more than 50 years of biosolids use in Yuma, the future of AgTech’s operation on state trust land is now deeply uncertain.

Arizona officials are terminating AgTech LLC’s state land leases in Yuma County, citing lease violations and operations outside the company’s permitted agricultural scope. AgTech disputes the decision, plans to appeal and warns of potential effects on jobs, biosolids management costs and Arizona’s agricultural industry.

This is the first part of “The Cost of Waste,” a three-part series examining what biosolids are, how they came to Yuma County, what is known about potential health concerns and what solutions may come next.

Yuma students took their research to the international stage at ISEF, highlighting projects in plant, materials and animal sciences.

Local and state growers and agricultural leaders meet up with ag technology companies to learn about the future of 'smart fields.'
