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.

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: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: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: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:Webinar: Responding to Farm Stress
DESCRIPTION:The Brown and Dane County Extension are hosting a program for agribusiness professionals to help them learn to recognize and address farm stress and farmer health. The program will be hosted as two consecutive sessions on May 21\, 2020. Dane and Brown County will host the program at 1:00-2:30 pm. The program will be offered via zoom/video conference \nThe program will train agribusiness professionals in Question\, Persuade\, Refer (QPR). Agriculture professionals and consultants work closely with farmers and are often in a position to recognize acute stress. Given the appropriate training and skills\, they may help recognize when stress is overwhelming\, and could refer farmers to appropriate resources. \nThe mission of the Question\, Persuade\, Refer program is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative\, practical and proven suicide prevention training that can make a positive difference in the life of someone you know. QPR consists of these three skills: Question…a person about suicide\, Persuade…someone to get help and\, Refer…someone to the appropriate resource \nThere is no cost to attend the program. Each session is limited to 20 attendees. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/question-persuade-referqpr-training-for-ag-business-professionals-registration-105261199080?aff=QPR. \nTo request program accommodations in languages other than English\, or based on disability\, contact Maria Jose Fuenzalida at maria.fuenzalidavalenzuela@wisc.edu Dane County\, Elizabeth Binversie at elizabeth.binversie@browncountywi.gov Brown County.

SUMMARY:Gaining Ground - Soil as a Renewable Resource?
DESCRIPTION:The soil health nexus for their soil health digital cafe series. \nCan health of a degraded soil be regenerated? We use the term ‘regenerative agriculture\,’ but what does it mean and does science suggest degraded soils can realistically be brought back to original productivity levels?  If it can\, how long will it take? Tune in to hear from Rick Cruse of the Iowa Water Center as he discusses the time required to potentially regenerate components of a healthy soil and identify the most critical soil degradation processes common with today’s agriculture. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Lake Ice - The Invisible Present and Place
DESCRIPTION:The decline in ice cover on lakes has been an early warning for the onset of today’s climate change. Records of ice-on and ice-off dates and the duration of ice cover were commonly kept by citizens over the last 50 to 150 years often prior to the establishment of weather stations. These records allow us to visualize lake ice in the context of change that occurred over decades to centuries. One Shinto Shrine record began in the 1400s in Japan. Ice records allow us to see what has been happening not only to our lake\, or Wisconsin lakes\, but to lakes around the Northern Hemisphere. Declines already have affected human uses of winter lake ice. Several lakes in Wisconsin experience winters without complete ice cover; such winters are forecast to become more common in Wisconsin’s future. Declines in ice has increased winter drownings\, and has decreased days for winter fishing\, festivals\, skating\, iceboating\, skiing\, walking\, and viewing\, as well as transportation on winter ice roads. Climate change has been eroding a part of our “sense of place” for those of us who include lake ice in our lives. \nRegister here.
