SUMMARY:Soil Water and Nutrient Management Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 Soil\, Water and Nutrient Management Meetings will be virtual this year due to COVID-19. The meetings will include topics related to the value of soil organic matter and how to build it (Matt Ruark)\, lessons learned about corn nitrogen management in Wisconsin and the Midwest (Carrie Laboski)\, and challenges of liquid dairy manure management in Wisconsin (Francisco Arriaga). Each topic discussion will last 50 minutes with a 10 minute break between each topic. CEUs will be offered in Nutrient Management\, and Soil and Water for Certified Crop Advisers. There is no charge for this event\, but registration is required. There are two sessions to choose from\, both sessions will present the same information. Please choose the one that best fits your schedule. \nMeeting times: \nThursday\, December 3 from 8:30-11:50am\nModerator: Richard Halopka\, Extension Clark County Agriculture Educator \nFriday\, December 4 from 12:30-3:50pm\nModerator: Kimberly Schmidt\, Extension Shawano County Agriculture Educator \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Dairy Margin Coverage Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:The Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program is an important risk management tool for dairy producers from the USDA-Farm Service Agency. This voluntary insurance product allows producers to protect against low margins\, specifically\, the difference between the announced All Milk price and the calculated feed costs to produce milk. UW-Madison\, Division of Extension\, is providing dairy producers an opportunity to ensure they are making the correct DMC coverage level decision for their operation. Pre-registration is required by e-mailing to scott.reuss@wisc.edu

SUMMARY:Nutrient Management Practices and Their Co-Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Nutrient management practices are critical for reducing nutrient loads downstream. But what about the other benefits nutrient management practices provide outside of water quality improvement? Tune into this webinar to hear about the co-benefits of nutrient management practices including pollinator habitat\, carbon sequestration\, and flood mitigation. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Drought Calendars for Specialty Crops
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight a recent project engaging specialty crop growers in the Midwest to better understand the seasonality of their decisions and drought information needs. The project has resulted in graphical decision calendars for grape\, apple\, cranberry\, and irrigated potato production. Decision calendars describe the timing of management practices and decisions that are made throughout crop planting\, growing\, harvest\, and dormant seasons\, along with the climate-related concerns that impact the outcomes of management decisions. Decision calendars can help identify opportunities for inserting climate information into a decision process. We will discuss how decision calendars can be used to communicate and improve the usability of drought/climate monitoring and prediction science. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Just-in-Time Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot of focus on soil organic matter levels\, but what if the flow of carbon through the soil is just as important for soil health? What if this flow is more important? Building and maintaining soil organic matter levels can be a long\, slow process. Similarly\, maintaining large warehouse inventory is expensive. In manufacturing\, a cost-cutting concept called just-in-time production allows smaller inventory levels and has been widely adopted. Could the same concept be applied to soil management for just-in-time soil health? \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Harmful Algal Bloom Research Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The event will gather developing research regarding harmful algal blooms (HABs) and provide a space to discuss how to improve outreach and engagement to stakeholders impacted by HABs. Topics will cover state and regional HAB responses\, as well as research that covers HABs impacts on animal and human health. The symposium will also feature research on monitoring\, identifying\, and treating HABs and preventing HABs through nutrient management. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Grazing for Profit
DESCRIPTION:Grazing livestock can be a profitable endeavor on par or exceeding the returns from other agricultural enterprises. Aaron Pape\, grazier and Farm Business Instructor for Northeast WI Technical College\, will demonstrate how management choices like extended grazing\, winder feeding strategies\, overheads\, and enterprise selection impact the farm’s finances. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Monitoring Lake Superior Coastal Wetlands with High-Resolution Satellite Imagery and Hydrological Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Webinar attendees will learn about a binational effort (Canada and US) to build automated or semi-automated monitoring approaches and algorithms to monitor coastal Great Lakes wetlands. Laura will share examples for the St. Louis River Estuary and Bad River pilot sites. Attendees will learn about methods to routinely map surface water and vegetation inundation extent from satellite radar observations\, methods for modeling Great Lakes hydrological connectivity\, work underway for the US/Canada Superior coastline that is allowing distinction of coastal and non-coastal wetlands\, methods for mapping and monitoring wetland type and invasive species\, and how these products can be used to monitor shorebird breeding habitat with an example from the St. Clair Delta. \nRegister here.
