SUMMARY:Helping Farmers Help the Land Through Climate Smart-Farming
DESCRIPTION:The climate is changing in different ways across the United States. Participate in this webinar training to learn about how the climate has changed in your area and what that means for farmers and ranchers. This presentation focuses on the 4 ways producers can adapt:\n\n• Assess landscape vulnerability\n• Improve soil health\n• Increase the heath and diversity of biological organisms\n• Conserve resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions\n\nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Drought Calendars for Specialty Crops
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight a recent project engaging specialty crop growers in the Midwest to better understand the seasonality of their decisions and drought information needs. The project has resulted in graphical decision calendars for grape\, apple\, cranberry\, and irrigated potato production. Decision calendars describe the timing of management practices and decisions that are made throughout crop planting\, growing\, harvest\, and dormant seasons\, along with the climate-related concerns that impact the outcomes of management decisions. Decision calendars can help identify opportunities for inserting climate information into a decision process. We will discuss how decision calendars can be used to communicate and improve the usability of drought/climate monitoring and prediction science. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Soil Health Management Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Soil Management Summit planning committee wants to ensure the health and wellbeing of our participants\, vendors\, and everyone else involved in the summit’s production while maintaining the high standard of programmatic content the event has provided over the years. As the COVID-19 situation has evolved\, we have made the difficult decision that this event will be offered online only. \nThis summit (formerly Conservation Tillage Conference) emphasizes proven farmer experience and applied science. Straight from the fields\, learn how heavier\, colder soils aren’t necessarily the challenge they’re made out to be. Hear from long-time no-till\, reduced tillage\, and cover crop farmers as they share their experiences\, so you can be spared the same hard-learned lessons. \nThe Summit features presentations and Q&A with researchers\, farmers and agricultural advisors\,  information from sponsors\, and conversations with farmers experienced in different soil health practices. \nAttendees who attend the entire conference will be offered CCA continuing education units (CEUs). \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Just-in-Time Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot of focus on soil organic matter levels\, but what if the flow of carbon through the soil is just as important for soil health? What if this flow is more important? Building and maintaining soil organic matter levels can be a long\, slow process. Similarly\, maintaining large warehouse inventory is expensive. In manufacturing\, a cost-cutting concept called just-in-time production allows smaller inventory levels and has been widely adopted. Could the same concept be applied to soil management for just-in-time soil health? \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Assessing Soil Health: On-Farm Economics
DESCRIPTION:Measuring and assessing soil health is critical for understanding how changes in agronomic management practices affect the capability of soil to support cropping systems. In this presentation\, the Soil Health Institute will present an evaluation of the economics of adopting Soil Health Management Systems developed from 125 interviews with farmers and accounting for changes in management. This presentation will focus on how financial outcomes of adopting Soil Health Management Systems compare to more conventional production practices. \nLearn more here.
