SUMMARY:Silage Quality--From Pricing to Feeding Behavior
DESCRIPTION:When corn silage sells\, the grower and dairy producer each assign values based on different goals. Both like the agreement to be simple and understandable. Have we based these agreements too much on the grain value in the past? Where does fiber digestibility fit into value calculations? \nForage quality goes beyond intake and production\, and also modulates feeding behavior patterns. The rest of the presentation will share recent research updates on this topic and connect forage\, feedbunk management and animal response. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:SRW - Strategic and cost-effective mineral nutrition in sheep
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Whit Stewart\, Assistant Professor and Extension Sheep Specialist for the University of Wyoming\, will discuss the factors that help producers achieve more returns from their mineral nutrition program. Accounting for seasonal changes in mineral content of basal diets\, changes in requirements across stages of production (maintenance to lactation)\, and breed differences in mineral requirements can help us fine-tune the money spent on a mineral program. Additional management factors such as reducing variable consumption and using soil geochemistry in your region to help overcome deficiencies will also be discussed. Time for questions and answers will be provided. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Winter Manure Application and Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:While winter manure application can be beneficial for producers from a logistical\, financial\, and soil compaction standpoint\, it has traditionally been discouraged due to concerns over runoff during spring thaws. Are there ways to spread manure in the winter months without jeopardizing water quality? Tune into the next edition of The Current Webinar Series as experts from across the region dive into the topic and discuss their research on the water quality impacts and winter manure application. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Pesticide Applicator Training Program
DESCRIPTION:The UW Pesticide Applicator Training Program has created multiple formats for private applicator trainings to address increased training demand. \nA private applicator is someone that applies restricted use pesticides to produce an agricultural commodity on their own property or the property owned or rented by an employer. Examples of agricultural commodities are grain and forage crops\, fruit crops or horticulture products. A restricted use pesticide can be identified by checking the label of the product you wish to use. \nA Private Applicator Certification is valid for 5 years. There are three steps toward certification: purchasing the training manual\, training and taking the test. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Watershed-Based Fisheries Management in the Driftless Region
DESCRIPTION:Stream fish populations reflect not only the abiotic and biotic conditions within and near the stream\, but those across the watershed. Few places is this more apparent than in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region\, which has experienced significant changes in land use\, climate\, and trout populations over the past 100 years. In this presentation\, Kirk Olson (WDNR Fisheries Biologist – La Crosse) will describe the history of conservation and trout fisheries management in the La Crosse Area and current fisheries management efforts emphasizing watershed-based fisheries management. \nInfo here.
