SUMMARY:Conservation Innovation Grants: Energy & Water Benchmarking Tools and Best Practices to Improve Resource Efficiency for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar during which we will discuss: \n– PowerScore\, a resource benchmarking tool\, offers growers deeper insight into their energy\, water\, and emissions efficiency; \n– Productivity key performance indicators enhance competitive business insights for growers; and \n– A library of controlled environment agriculture best practices guides helps operators to optimize crop yields and environmental improvements to meet sustainability targets and become more resilient in competitive markets. \nPresenters will explain how controlled environment agriculture facilities (greenhouses and indoor farms) can be benchmarked with PowerScore\, a free specialized online tool. PowerScore gives growers key performance indicators and calculates year-over-year changes to highlight areas of excellence and identify pathways for more resilient strategies. Panelists will share how growers and their project partners can access a library of curriculum\, attend live workshops\, and stream training on-demand on RII’s online CEA Learning Center. The speakers will demonstrate how to create PowerScore Performance Snapshots and share how case studies will celebrate best practices being implemented in the field. These resources can result in improved facility design\, support implementation of high-performance equipment\, and lead to quicker adoption of low- and no-cost strategies to address multiple NRCS resource concerns. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Heifer Grazing Compass Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will be a hands-on training session for the Heifer Grazing Compass from the University of Wisconsin and the Grassland 2.0 project. This session is intended for farmers interested in grazing and agricultural service providers. We will be walking through the different dynamics of the decision support tool using data based on a case study of a small family-owned dairy farm in Wisconsin that recently converted to a pasture-based system for their heifers. Participants are encouraged to download the tool and fill in the input data from the case study before the session. This is because in this training session we aim to have a rich discussion of the different functions of the tool\, and the possible “learning experiences” that can be displayed with the tool. \nAfter registering and prior to the webinar\, I will send you instructions to prepare for this webinar. If you do not receive an email upon submission of your registration\, contact Penny at Penny@wisconsinlandwater.org \nCheck out this link to find out more about the Heifer Grazing Compass – https://grasslandag.org/the-heifer-grazing-compass/ \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:How Do Farming Practices Impact Soil Health and Water Quality? Research Update of the Watershed Impact Trial (WIT)
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Stroud Water Research Center and with funding from the William Penn Foundation\, the Rodale Institute is researching the links between farm management practices\, soil health\, and water quality. Different organic and conventional management practices will promote or degrade soil health\, which can affect downstream water quality.

SUMMARY:Season-Ahead Algal Bloom Forecasting
DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, cultural eutrophication of coastal waters and inland lakes around the world has contributed to a rapid expansion of harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Potential outbreaks of toxin-producing cyanobacteria species have drawn concern from health officials and water managers given their negative ecological\, aesthetic\, and socioeconomic impacts. Currently\, little information regarding expected summertime cyanobacteria abundance is available prior to the season. With sufficient lead time\, communicating the likelihood of elevated cyanobacteria abundance may be informative for proactively managing potential threats to lake and beach safety. We developed a model to issue predictions in early June of expected summertime cyanobacteria abundance for Lake Mendota. The prediction model demonstrates moderate to good skill and an ability to accurately predict summers with above-normal cyanobacteria abundance. Associated beach closure predictions also show promise but are highly sensitive to the short observational record – a limitation directly being addressed by Clean Lakes Alliance volunteer monitors and researchers at UW-Madison. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Driving Investment in Regional Food Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:Investment in physical food systems infrastructure\, such as storage and distribution facilities\, is essential to increase capacity in regional food economies. Too often\, investment opportunities in the food supply chain are hyper-focused on a specific link\, rather than taking a systems approach to financing regional food-related projects. During this installment of the CDFA Food Systems Finance Webinar Series\, we will explore opportunities to access capital and leverage federal funds to support new investments in regional infrastructure for food aggregation\, processing\, storage\, and more. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Veterans\, Agriculture\, and Stress
DESCRIPTION:Agriculture has proven to be a viable option for many military veterans seeking career options after leaving active duty. Not only can agriculture provide an opportunity for employment but it can often have therapeutic benefits. \nHowever\, veterans are not immune from the stress issues experienced by other farmers and ranchers. In addition\, wartime experiences can compound stress and interfere with agriculture-related activities. \nThis webinar will explore issues related to the interface of veterans\, agriculture\, and stress. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Why Building With Mass Timber is the Best Thing a Company Can do to Sustain America's Working Forests & Their Role as a Natural Climate Solution
DESCRIPTION:This webinar addresses the question: will rising demand for mass timber products result in unsustainable levels of harvesting forests in the United States? Participants will learn the role family forest owners play in ensuring the availability of domestic wood supply and the importance of demand in US timber for sustaining forests in continuing to serve as a natural climate solution. As the prospect of increased utilization of wood products in the built environment\, specifically mass timber and CLT\, as a climate solution surges\, riding the wave is the tremendous potential to boost the demand for domestically sourced timber. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Key Water Definitions of NR 151 - Case Studies and Discussions from the Field Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Water on Wisconsin farms presents itself in many different forms. Even categories like surface water and groundwater have subcategories that often require guidance to define and interpret. Join county\, DNR\, and DATCP staff for the next installment of the NR 151 training webinar series: \nKey Water Definitions of NR 151 – Case Studies and Discussions from the Field \n10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. – Brief reiteration of primary NR 151 performance standards referencing surface and groundwater resources\, and reminder of where to locate previous presentation recordings. \n10:15 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. – Defining and exploring surface water and groundwater resources in a farm setting. \n\nSurface Waters: waters of the state (WOTS)\, water quality management areas (WQMAs)\, navigability\, concentrated flow channels\, intermittent/perennial streams\, setbacks\, subsurface drainage\, “W” soils\, and wetlands. Visual aids/examples provided.\nGroundwater:\n\n§ Karst and shallow to bedrock topographies: “R” soils\, direct conduits to groundwater\, closed depressions\, setbacks\, sites susceptible to groundwater contamination\, mapping tools to help locate and identify features. Visual aids/examples provided. \n§ Sandy Topographies: “P” soils\, direct conduits to groundwater\, sites susceptible to groundwater contamination\, and where nutrient and pathogen leaching has been found to be especially an issue in sands through modeling. Visual aids/examples provided. \n11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Questions from attendees answered. \nRegister here. \nYou will receive a confirmation email upon successfully registering. If you do not receive a confirmation email\, please contact Penny at Penny@wisconsinlandwater.org for registration assistance.
