SUMMARY:Approaching Oats as a Cash Crop
DESCRIPTION:Oats are becoming a hot commodity as more grocery shoppers reach for oat-based products – but in the field\, we’re still treating them like a second-class crop. 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.  The field day will also explore how the Wedemeiers use interseeding cover crops and relay cropping with small grains to manage nutrients\, erosion\, and weeds on their farm from underseeding clover with oats to relay cropping spring wheat and soybeans. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Impact of Roller-Crimping Cereal Rye + Live Weed Zapper Demonstration
DESCRIPTION: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 Levi’s strategy for reducing tillage in his organic row crop system. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:The Pros and Cons of Insurance Pest Management: The New IPM
DESCRIPTION:Although corn and soybean variety improvements (including GM crops) and reductions in pest pressures have combined to simplify crop production and improve yields\, the adoption of pest management technologies – including chemical pesticides – is higher and more uniform than ever in these cropping systems. The key advantages of these approaches are convenience and simplicity\, in terms of a reduction in the need for monitoring pests and a perception of minimizing risk. Dr. Krupke will discuss some of the unanticipated consequences of this approach and whether the time is right to reconsider some of the default approaches in corn and soybean insect pest management. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Surface Water Grant Applicant Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about the DNR’s Surface Water Grant Program?   Would you like to learn more about funding opportunities\, applying\, and managing grant projects?  Please attend one of our upcoming two-hour webinars. We will be offering six in total\, each with a regional focus. Attendees will meet their local biologist and environmental grant specialist; learn about grants available for the protection and restoration of lakes\, rivers and wetlands\, and get tips on applying and managing projects. We’ll provide some time to answer your questions as you look toward preparing a pre-proposal for the first program deadline coming on September 2.  NOTE: We will be focusing on Education\, Planning\, and Management Grants\, including those for lakes\, rivers and AIS. We will not cover the Lake Monitoring and Protection Network or County Lake Grants at this time. We are planning a webinar to cover these programs for the end of July.  For registration information\, contact Ali at  Alison.Mikulyuk@wisconsin.gov

SUMMARY:Cook County's New Stormwater Credit Trading Market
DESCRIPTION:Stormwater credit trading is an innovative\, market-based approach that enables infrastructure that reduces flooding to be built efficiently where it’s needed most. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago recently authorized stormwater credit pilots in two Cook County watersheds. The Nature Conservancy and the Metropolitan Planning Council will manage these pilots through our StormStore partnership.  Join us for this webinar where we’ll explain stormwater credit trading and the Cook County pilots\, as well as discuss what we’re looking for in the first projects in Cook County to take advantage of stormwater trading. \nFind out more here.

SUMMARY:The Hydrology of Upper Watershed Wetlands: A Tour of Penokee Hills
DESCRIPTION:Upper watershed wetlands are critical to regulating water throughout watersheds\, yet they are among the most under-recognized wetlands in Wisconsin and sometimes some of the most altered. Join Wisconsin Wetland Association’s Executive Director Tracy Hames for a virtual tour of some intact headwater wetlands in the Penokee Hills in northern Wisconsin\, an area that was once the site of a proposed iron mine. Tracy will discuss the important functions of upper watershed wetlands for the health of watersheds and communities and share this beautiful and vital place with you. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Practical Steps to Implementing  Regenerative Agriculture Principles & Practices
DESCRIPTION:Learning the Six Soil Health Principles\, the Four Ecosystem Processes\, and the Three Rules of Adaptive Stewardship are crucial first steps to initiating regenerative agriculture on your farm or ranch.  However\, how you practically implement those principles and rules is another matter.  In this webinar we will provide some very practical and achievable steps for starting\, and continuing\, your journey into regenerative agriculture and adaptive stewardship.  Questions we will address include:  What are the best baseline measurements to track?  How do you know if you are making progress?  How can you implement these steps and still maintain profitability?  Where can you strategically cut inputs\, equipment costs and reliance on products and services\, while realizing improvement in both productivity and net margins? \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:The Role of Crop Advisers in Promoting Conservation Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Despite decades of promotion\, the voluntary adoption of conservation practices on farmland is still low. There is a great deal of literature that focuses on farm and farmer characteristics that lead to greater adoption\, but less work has been done on conservation information messengers. Evidence from farmer surveys indicates that farmers are greatly influenced by their private crop advisers. However\, the exact role for crop advisers in promoting conservation agriculture remains unclear. Using social science data from Indiana and Michigan\, this webinar will discuss potential roles for crop advisers in promoting conservation agriculture. It will also convey how acceptable these roles are among crop advisers\, farmers\, and public agencies. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:How to Get Started Restoring Your Cold-water Stream in Your County
DESCRIPTION:There has been a strong interest by counties in the past ten years to work with landowners on stream projects that involve bank stabilization and habitat for both game and non-game species (frogs\, birds\, snakes\, etc.).  Stream projects often involve multiple disciplines\, several partners and funding sources.  Where do you find the technical expertise and funding to get started?  Join Jeff Hastings\, former county employee and now with Trout Unlimited\, for an informal discussion on how to develop a roadmap for success! \nJoin at  https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/213746573 \nContact Penny at  Penny@wisconsinlandwater.org  with any questions

SUMMARY:Measures of Soil Water Cycling
DESCRIPTION:Measuring and assessing soil health are critical components to understanding how changes in agronomic management practices affect soils capacity to support cropping systems. In this presentation\, the Soil Health Institute (SHI) will focus on explaining measurements and assessments of soil health associated with soil-water dynamics. Specifically\, SHI will address how and why measurements such as surface infiltration\, plant available water holding capacity\, bulk density\, and aggregate stability can be used to understand how management practices impact soil’s ability to move and store water. SHI will also share insights from the North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements. \nRegister here.
