SUMMARY:Economics of Soil Health: Contributions of Reduced Tillage and Cover Cropping
DESCRIPTION:Weighing the costs and benefits of soil health management practices is a primary concern for producers considering the adoption of such practices. However\, the economic information needed for making data-driven\, science-based decisions is difficult to find. Recognizing that cropping and operating systems\, climate\, and soils vary\, the Soil Health Institute has done extensive research to develop partial budgets to fill the knowledge gap on the economics of soil health systems. Using data from more than 100 corn and soybean production partial budgets from across the United States\, this webinar will provide an in-depth analysis of how cover cropping affects expenditures and management practices in reduced tillage systems. It will also discuss details on cover crop seed mixes\, planting\, and termination strategies. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Wisconsin Cranberry School
DESCRIPTION:The Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association (WSCGA) Board agreed Tuesday\, January 5 to move their annual Winter Meeting from an in-person format to a virtual one. The event is held in conjunction with the annual Cranberry School put on by the Wisconsin Cranberry Research and Education Foundation (WCREF). The 2022 Cranberry School will also be moved to a virtual format. \nThe decision was made by the WSCGA Board due to concern over the health and safety of the cranberry community\, speakers\, and Cranberry School attendees in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic’s current trajectory. \nWSCGA President Steven Bartling said\, “This decision wasn’t easy as we were all looking forward to a gathering of our community. The reasons for this decision were simple. We have an increase in health concerns from COVID spread increasing within our communities currently and broad hesitation from our growers\, venders\, and presenters to join a big gathering.” \nThe events were originally planned to take place January 19 and 20 at the Wilderness Resort in Lake Delton and will now take place on the same dates virtually. \nThe following adjustments were made to the event to fit the new virtual format: \n\nRegistration fees for the School will be reduced to $50 per person for members\, $75 for nonmembers. Registration remains open at https://wcref.regfox.com/wisconsin-cranberry-school\nMinor adjustments to the agenda to provide participants with a little more break time during the school.\nThe Winter Trade Show was cancelled\nThe Pesticide Applicator Training session at the Wilderness Resort is cancelled\, growers in need of certification are encouraged to seek a session in their growing region\n\nWSCGA Executive Director Tom Lochner added\, “We are disappointed to cancel the in-person portion of these events\, however the decision was made out of an abundance of caution. We remain committed to providing a valuable experience to Wisconsin’s grower community and are optimistic the new virtual format will expand access to growers who are geographically isolated or who were hesitant about attending the event in-person.”

SUMMARY:Fertilizer Prices High? How Soil Microbes Can Improve Fertilizer Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that over 50% of fertilizer that is applied is lost? Many farmers are producing more while using less fertilizer by leveraging soil microbes to increase fertilizer efficiency\, allowing more fertilizer to go to the crop and reducing waste. ​ \nJoin the editors of No-Till Farmer along with Holganix for our live webinar\, “Fertilizer Prices High? How Soil Microbes Can Improve Fertilizer Efficiency.” \nIn this webinar\, Holganix President of Agriculture\, Dave Stark Ph.D. will discuss:​ \n\nHow microbes increase nutrient uptake and availability (including phosphorus)​\nThe role of soil microbes in soil health and crop performance ​\nInsights and data from university studies and Holganix studies on how microbes increase fertilizer efficiency\n\nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The History and Effectiveness of Injurious Wildlife Listing under the “Lacey Act”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the original Federal law known as the “Lacey Act” passed in 1900\, injurious wildlife has been amended several times\, but the purpose has always been to protect the United States from the introduction of invasive and otherwise harmful wildlife. Congress first gave the authority for overseeing injurious wildlife to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and later to the Department of the Interior. Injurious listing prohibits the importation of wild vertebrates\, crustaceans\, and mollusks that can cause harm to wildlife resources\, humans\, and other U.S. interests. However\, most people know about a different provision of the “Lacey Act\,” which is about trafficking of wildlife and plants. This presentation will explain what the “Lacey Act” is and the difference between the injurious and trafficking provisions. It will emphasize how the Service focuses on adding high-risk species to the Federal injurious list before they become established and how effective that has been in preventing the establishment of those injurious animals. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The Impacts of Flooding and Business Activity and Employment: A Spatial Perspective on Small Business
DESCRIPTION:Severe flooding events often cause significant damage to an area\, including affecting the local economy\, disrupting transportation\, and damaging infrastructure. While raw statistics offer some understanding of crop and property-related damages\, resulting from large-scale floods\, we also need to consider the longer-term impacts and recovery within an area and the interaction between adjacent areas during the recovery process. In this paper\, we examine the impacts of major and minor flood events on business employment and the number of establishments in different sectors of the economy. We find that while flood events had a negative short-run impact on agriculture and particularly small farm establishments\, we find positive impacts in the service sector. We also identify significant spatial spillovers. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:How's My Waterway
DESCRIPTION:How’s My Waterway has added several new features over the past year that will be featured in this webcast. Communities use How’s My Waterway to learn about their watershed. When a watershed is shown to have pollution or other issues\, it inspires people to get involved to protect and restore their waterways. By displaying all the information visually\, it gives this data more perspective and transparency which results in the drive for change and innovation. \nHow’s My Waterway answers questions about the health of waters in supporting swimming\, the eating of fish\, drinking water protection and delivery\, the health of aquatic communities\, and the restoration and protection of waterways. The public has access to water information in their community\, state and at a national level. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Food Ways with Dan Cornelius\, UW Madison Law School
DESCRIPTION:“Indigenous Foodways” grows out of Cornelius’s work with the Intertribal Agricultural Council to bring a diverse array of historic seeds back to indigenous communities\, to reconnect with the land through what we eat. Since 2019 cross campus collaborations have resulted in the establishment of an Indigenous Research Garden and sugarbush at the Arboretum. These collaborations are part of a larger effort to better incorporate indigenous perspectives and practices into the campus landscape and course curriculum. His focus is the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples prior to European colonization. \nInfo here.
