SUMMARY:Leading at the Edge - Advancing Edge of Field Practices
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar about the importance of accelerating the adoption of Edge of Field (EoF) practices to achieve an integrated\, whole-farm approach to working lands conservation. Sustainability is becoming mainstream in agriculture\, and real progress is being made improving the outcomes of crop production. But larger-scale changes are needed to meet greenhouse gas\, water\, and other sustainability goals. EoF practices like wetlands\, saturated buffers\, and drainage water management are conservation technologies that provide on-farm and downstream benefits to achieve sustainability goals. In this webinar\, we will highlight the importance of edge of field practices\, share insights from the collaborative process that developed the EoF Roadmap\, and facilitate a discussion among industry leaders on how to scale up these important technologies to help transition to a more regenerative agricultural system. \nLearn more here.

DESCRIPTION:Instead of 9 locations around the state\, the 2021 workshops will be 1½ – 2 hours over four days\, Feb 2-5\, 2020\, 9:30 am. \nThe Feb 2 session will focus on farms that are near permit size or thinking of expanding above the 1\,000 animal unit threshold in the next few years. The Feb 3\, 4\, and 5 sessions are for farms that already have a permit\, their consultants\, and agency staff working with them. \nRegistration is $10 per person for one day or $20 per person for the entire series. A $5 per person late fee will be charges for registrations received after 11:59PM January 31st. Recordings of the sessions will be made available to those who register. \nHosted by UW Madison Division of Extension in collaboration with Wisconsin DNR\, these workshops are designed for livestock operations near or at WPDES permit size (CAFOs) — owners/management and key staff\, their agronomic and engineering consultants\, and agency staff and others who work with these operations. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Development of ACPF and Use by NRCS for Watershed Planning
DESCRIPTION:Nutrient and sediment losses from agricultural watersheds have impacts on aquatic and marine ecosystems of the U.S. Improving agricultural water quality requires planning and voluntary installation of new conservation practices through producer engagement. Practices must be selected and located to be effective based on a watershed assessment\, and appropriate for each landscape and each individual farm operation. To help meet this challenge\, ARS scientists in Ames\, Iowa\, have developed the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) to provide watershed databases and software tools that can be used to present realistic options for placement of conservation practices that can improve water quality outcomes. High-resolution data on land cover\, soil survey\, and topography are analyzed to identify a suite of conservation practice options to reduce impacts of runoff and subsurface tile drainage on water quality. This webinar will describe the ACPF and a current NRCS project aimed to facilitate evaluation of ACPF results for selected NWQI and CEAP watersheds in 15 states. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Reducing Health Impacts of the Nitrogen Problem – Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Nitrogen is a widely-used\, essential input to crop production. In many regions of the United States\, nitrogen from farms has leaked into drinking water and caused adverse health impacts. These health impacts include methemoglobinemia\, a condition that inhibits the blood’s ability to carry oxygen around the body. \nThis workshop hosted by the Environmental Health Matters Initiative (EHMI) will explore what actions can be taken to address the nitrogen contamination problem in agriculture. \nWorkshop sessions will take place every Thursday from 2:30–5:30 PM (ET) from January 28 – February 25\, 2021. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Guide to Outcomes Estimation Tools
DESCRIPTION:In December of 2020\, American Farmland Trust’s Dr. Michelle Perez (Water Initiative Director) and Dr. Emily Cole (Climate and Agriculture Program Manager for New England) published “A Guide to Water Quality\, Climate\, Social\, and Economic Outcomes Estimate Tools: Quantifying Outcomes to Accelerate Farm Conservation Practice Adoption.” The guide features 14 outcomes estimation tools and two methods\, which can be used by farm conservation project managers without requiring professional computer modeling experience. In this webinar\, we will:\n\n– Present tips on how farm conservation project managers can use the Guide to identify a tool or a method that might work for them\n– Compare and contrast tools that are suited for field versus project evaluation and tools that offer site-specific versus generalized estimates\n– Review recommendations that will foster further refinement of the existing tools and methods and better support project managers\n\nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Microbiology/Compost Call
DESCRIPTION:Take a deeper dive into microbiology and composting! Microbially diverse compost is increasingly being recognized as an effective way to inoculate and maintain healthy soil biology. Kassie Brown of Potter Ridge Farm will give a presentation about how she looks for organisms in compost and what she found in the samples. The presentation will also include different types of compost and methods for applying that biology to large and small-scale farms. Come learn and network with fellow composters! \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.

SUMMARY:Monitoring Lake Superior Coastal Wetlands with High-Resolution Satellite Imagery and Hydrological Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Webinar attendees will learn about a binational effort (Canada and US) to build automated or semi-automated monitoring approaches and algorithms to monitor coastal Great Lakes wetlands. Laura will share examples for the St. Louis River Estuary and Bad River pilot sites. Attendees will learn about methods to routinely map surface water and vegetation inundation extent from satellite radar observations\, methods for modeling Great Lakes hydrological connectivity\, work underway for the US/Canada Superior coastline that is allowing distinction of coastal and non-coastal wetlands\, methods for mapping and monitoring wetland type and invasive species\, and how these products can be used to monitor shorebird breeding habitat with an example from the St. Clair Delta. \nRegister here.
