SUMMARY:Live Roller-Crimper and Weed Zapper Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa State University Extension\, Outreach Organic Ag Program\, and PFI is planning a virtual field day to demonstrate rolling rye in an organic no-till system at the Levi Lyle Farm in Keota\, Iowa\, weather-permitting. Lyle expects the rye to be past anthesis at that date\, which is necessary for proper termination of the rye crop where soybeans will be planted. To learn more email info@practicalfarmers.org

SUMMARY:Soil Health Digital Cafe Series: Cover Crop/Soil Health On-Farm Research Partnership Between UNL and NRCS
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explain the development of the On-Farm Research Partnership between the NRCS and the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network and how it is used to collect production and soil data from NRCS Soil Health Demonstration Sites across Nebraska. Gary Lesoing will share 3-years of crop yield production data collected from a local project he is involved with and soil data collected by NRCS and a UNL Graduate Student at the site. He will also share some results of cover crop biomass measurements collected at various sites and how this partnership has created a valuable resource. Nebraska Extension\, UNL Horticulture & Agronomy\, and NRCS are partnering together to provide soil health and crop production data for the research database and to share at local field days\, training sessions\, and conferences for farmers\, ag consultants and ag educators in Nebraska. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:The Current Webinar: Recreational Water Quality and Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has been rescheduled from June 10th\, 2020. \nTheir relationship to water quality is sometimes overlooked\, but aquatic invasive species can be considered “biological pollution”. They can also negatively affect on-water recreation. Tune in to this month’s edition of The Current  Webinar series as we focus on how aquatic invasive species affect recreational water quality. You’ll hear about aquatic invasive species\, related resources\, and tools available to outdoor recreationists and boaters for reporting and mitigating impacts. \n\nFeatured Speakers: \n\n\nEugene Braig\, Program Director\, Aquatic Ecosystems\, The Ohio State University\nSarah Orlando\, Clean Marinas Program Manager\, Ohio Sea Grant\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Conservation Drainage - Managing Water for the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join the North Central Climate Collaborative for their next webinar Conservation Drainage – Managing Water for the Future featuring John McMaine. \nTile drainage is widespread throughout the Midwest.  As weather patterns continue to shift toward more precipitation outside of the growing season and less precipitation during the growing season\, water management will need to continue to adapt to provide resilience. Conservation drainage is a concept that incorporates methods of storing water or treating water in the landscape or edge-of-field to increase resilience and improve water quality while maintaining the agronomic benefits of tile drainage.  This webinar will cover some of the recent research in conservation drainage\, how they can be incorporated into new and existing practices\, and what the future of conservation drainage might look like. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Aquatic Plant ID Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In place of the usual hands-on summer aquatic plant identification workshops\, we are holding one virtual webinar this year. We will be covering a similar set of species as we would at the hands-on workshops\, and the day will include rotations with multiple staff covering different groups of plants. There will be time for Q&A after each group of species\, and a longer Q&A session at the end. We realize it won’t be the same as the hands-on sessions with live plants and field ID practice\, but we hope this is a valuable alternative to prepare those of you that will be doing point-intercept surveys or other aquatic plant work this season. This webinar will also be recorded for later viewing. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Creating and Maintaining Upland Habitat
DESCRIPTION:Creating and maintaining upland habitat for wildlife is important to many landowners. This presentation will cover the habitat requirements of many upland wildlife species and how forestry practices can be used to improve their habitat. Financial and technical resources\, that are available to landowners\, will also be reviewed. H abitat loss is the greatest threat to wildlife conservation. Landowners can manage forestland to maintain and even create essential habitat for various species of wildlife. Understanding the relationship between wildlife and your woodlands is critical to learning the necessary steps to improve habitat on your property. With planning and appropriate management\, you can favor the animals and plants you most desire on your property. \nMore information here.
