SUMMARY:Farm Loans: How and When to Use Debt to Finance Your Farm Business
DESCRIPTION:Growing a food and farm business often requires taking on debt. Upfront capital requirements and seasonal operations expenditures can leave enterprises strapped for cash and vulnerable to disruptions. The right loans can help\, but it is important to know when and where to seek funding\, and which lending opportunities best suit your purpose. Let’s talk about how to decide whether debt financing is the right tool for you\, and how to get approved. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Mass Timber Case Study
DESCRIPTION:A part of the Yale Forest Forum: The Future of Wood Building Products in a Changing Climate \nWood is a renewable resource that has wide material applications in many industries. Wood products sourced from sustainably managed forests store carbon and can play an important role in combating climate change. Recent innovations in the use of wood have led to the development of new products that can replace traditional fossil-based carbon-intensive materials\, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. Understanding the potential environmental impacts and societal implications of increases in both conventional and emerging wood products across their respective life cycles\, as well as their possible reuse in a circular construction economy\, is critical in assessing the climate mitigation potential of wood vs. other materials. \nWhat is the future role of forest products in addressing climate\, resources\, societal\, and environmental challenges? What are the environmental\, economic\, and societal implications for using more forest products? Hear from speakers representing forestry\, industrial ecology\, architecture\, conservation\, and academia. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Strategies for Preventing and Managing Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms
DESCRIPTION:The Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms (HCBs) training reviews key information found in the ITRC Guidance Document\, Strategies for Preventing and Managing Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms. \nCyanobacteria are microscopic\, photosynthetic organisms that occur naturally in all aquatic systems but most often in freshwater systems. Under certain conditions\, cyanobacteria can multiply and become very abundant\, discoloring the water throughout a water body or accumulating at the surface. These occurrences are known as blooms. Cyanobacteria may produce potent toxins (cyanotoxins) that pose a threat to human health. They can also harm wildlife and domestic animals\, aquatic ecosystems\, and local economies by disrupting drinking water systems and source waters\, recreational uses\, commercial and recreational fishing\, and property values. It is likely that continued population growth\, land use change\, increases in nutrient inputs to our waterways\, and the warming climate will favor proliferation of these problematic species. Providing a range of practical approaches to minimize these blooms and their likely societal and wildlife effects is critical to our future vitality\, health\, and economic prosperity. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mike Hoffmann\, will give a presentation based on his new book\, “Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need\,” and the companion website. Written by Hoffmann and Carrie Koplinka-Loehr and Danielle L. Eiseman\, the authors “offer an eye-opening journey through a complete menu of before-dinner drinks and salads; main courses and sides; and coffee and dessert. Our Changing Menu is a celebration of food and a call to action―encouraging readers to join with others from the common ground of food to help tackle the greatest challenge of our time. Their story is rounded out with a primer on the global food system\, the causes and impacts of climate change\, and what we can all do.” Come prepared to consider how we can start a climate change social movement using food – we all eat. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:International Nature Farming Convergence
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this event goes far beyond Nature Farming as a series of recipes\, instead bringing in natural philosophy and going back to the traditional roots of farming. As the world gets increasingly connected by technology\, it is also causing cultural amnesia as homogenous forces of consumerism cause the domesticated and industrialized to forget how to live harmoniously in their own ecosystems. Fermentation as an art form\, has largely been forgotten due to the convenience of electricity\, and so human microbiomes have suffered. Microbial based agriculture can help heal the soil\, fostering greater ability for human health\, empowering us all through food sovereignty. Nature Farming as a spiritual worldview allows us to remember we are part of the natural world and can foster diversity in our bioregions. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Anticipating the hydrologic consequences of Emerald Ash Borer invasion in tribal forested wetlands through a sapflux network
DESCRIPTION:Tribal communities maintain significant landholdings\, including Black ash-dominated forested wetlands. These systems have not been a priority for management\, but anticipated mortality induced by emerald ash borer (EAB\, Agrilus planipennis) has prompted tribal managers to seek strategies and prioritize areas for mitigation. Join Angela Waupochick as she shares details about how her tribal-scale research will direct local management by capturing a refined picture of environmental and atmospheric controls. She’ll also share how the data from this work will better determine how site hydrology changes following black ash loss and direct specific management areas for tribal managers. \nAngela Waupochick is Ph.D. student in forest and wildlife ecology at UW-Madison. She is using bioacoustic monitoring in a forest-wetland research project in the Menominee and Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Lands near Keshena\, in northern Wisconsin. Her goal is to find the best conservation strategies for these black ash–dominated ecosystems because they are widespread in the area and a culturally significant tribal land resource. \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:Evaluation of Different Sulfur Sources for Corn and Soybeans
DESCRIPTION:Sulfur supplementation has recently received greater interest from the crop production community. The growing desire to supplement sulfur is driven by decreased sulfur deposition from rainfall\, increased yields for multiple crops\, and lower sulfur content in phosphorus-containing fertilizers. Traditionally there have been only a few sulfur sources that producers have relied upon for their sulfur fertilization needs. Today there are more options available to farmers. This webinar will explore these options and compare new and traditional sulfur products. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Black Farmer Justice: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Black farmers have a rich history and promising future in the United States\, even though the Black history of agriculture is often reduced to slavery and cotton plantations. In Farming While Black (2018)\, Leah Penniman argues that justice for Black people\, farmers and otherwise\, requires learning about Black histories of agriculture\, creating new experiences in the natural world\, and getting in touch with our food systems. With a panel of Black scholars\, farmers\, and activists\, in this webinar we explore what justice for Black farmers is today\, what it has been in the past\, and what it can be in the future. \n
