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 […]
Thelma Heidel-Baker and Ricky Baker have a small, family-run, diversified organic dairy farm in the rolling hills of southeastern Wisconsin. For this field day, they'll share how they manage their grass-based, organic dairy.
This virtual farm tour will showcase both rye and oats in the field, and Martin will share the lessons he's learned about producing both crops, from no-till planting in soybean residue to harvesting and cleaning the product.
The University of Nebraska and the University of Minnesota have partnered to develop an interactive experience for small groups to identify preferred manure application sites based upon soil health and other factors. This webinar will feature Rick Koelsch and Leslie Johnson from Nebraska Extension.
Dr. Anderson work is focused on three critical areas of bioenergy and bioproducts research and development: 1) sustainable and economically efficient forest biomass management and production systems, 2) competitive low-emissions biofuels and bioenergy conversion technologies deployed in the forest sector, and 3) information and tools for decision making and policy analysis related to forest biomass […]
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.
In this webinar, the presenter will compare tillage management practices and structural conservation practices in use by growers in 2013-2016 to those in use in 2003-2006 to evaluate changes in practice adoption between the two time periods.
In this virtual field day, Matt will show video of various passes of tine harrows and rotary hoes he made through the field earlier in June, and then we'll take a live look at the field.
Nathan and Sarah farm using in-field conservation practices that reduce soil loss, increase soil health, reduce inputs, and provide forage for livestock. They also target edge-of-field conservation on marginal lands to provide water quality and wildlife benefits while improving return on investment on farmed acres.
Get a first-hand view of how the De Bruin family farm integrates cover crops with their operation.
This virtual field day will showcase the steps Scott has taken to step up oat production on his organic crop and livestock farm, including his participation in a cooperator trial for better oat variety selection.
Levi will show us the field where he previously roller-crimped a cereal rye cover crop and planted soybeans. He will also demonstrate the Weed Zapper, which uses electricity to kill weed escapes that have grown taller than the soybean canopy. In lieu of traditional cultivation, both roller-crimping cover crops and zapping weeds are part of […]
