Join this informative webinar focused on managing phosphorus in conservation cropping systems. Presentations will highlight current research and management tips for farmers and their advisors on best management practices that reduce nonpoint source phosphorus loading. Learn more here.
The climate is changing, and it is impacting forests in many ways. The magnitude of continued accelerated change requires adaptation strategies aim to maintain healthy and productive forests. As forests are placed under additional stress, it is also critical that we consider how wildlife may respond to a shifting climate and important forest habitats that they depend on.
Current scientific knowledge related to algal blooms will be highlighted. Research and outreach leaders will present findings from recent studies and identify important areas of uncertainty. Specific topics will include: Collaborations and partnerships critical for improving water quality Understanding lag times and soil phosphorus dynamics The latest in edge-of-field research and best management practice Learn more […]
Land use decisions significantly affect soil loss and runoff. The effect is pronounced in the three-state Driftless Area. Managed grazing and long-term ground cover are strong mitigators of erosion, but can those land use decisions have positive financial outcomes?
The Pasture and Grazing Management webinars will focus on pasture and grazing management practices for sheep and goat producers.
Join this field day to learn about topics including: Cover crop species for after small grains, soybeans, & corn silage Evaluating soil health based on infiltration rates Demonstrating in-field no-till planting from experienced no-till farmers (seed depth and placement, closing wheels, other tips and tricks) RSVP to Andy at aholschbach@co.ozaukee.wi.us
Badger Crop Connect is a crop production webinar series developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension Crops and Soils Program for the 2020 growing season. Badger Crop Connect’s goal is to bring agronomists, crop consultants, and farmers timely crop updates for Wisconsin.
Managed grazing can have a number of water-related benefits including flood reduction, improved water quality, nutrient and water efficiency, and increased water infiltration and retention. Tune in to this month’s edition of The Current webinar as we hear the latest research on grazing’s impact on ephemeral streams, current efforts to use grazing to improve water quality, and […]
Are you a young grazier wanting to explore integrating small grains for forage and other uses? How about options for portable watering systems when you are grazing remote pastures? Are you a seasoned grazier with direct experience and/or connections relevant to these topics that could help a beginning grazier get going?
The purpose of this web seminar is to support investment-oriented actions promoting soil health and carbon storage by improving the accounting of soil carbon sequestration. We seek to answer the question: How can soil carbon accounting improve to support investment-oriented actions promoting soil health and carbon storage?
Aaron Gillespie farms near Fountain, Minn., and raises conventional/organic row crops, small grains, cover crops, hay, and canning peas. He also rotationally grazes beef. Gillespie built his own interseeder to incorporate cover into his 30” and 60” corn. Learn more here.
The Lower Wisconsin Riverway stretches 92 miles from the Prairie du Sac Dam to its confluence with the Mississippi River. A vital, wild recreational and educational resource, it also harbors important cultural sites and is one of the nation's most significant riverine systems.
