SUMMARY:Winter Management of Livestock Grazing Operations
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar explore options and opportunities when planning for the winter months in a livestock grazing operation. During the winter months\, grazing operations often face their biggest challenges when dealing with both environmental degradation of the natural resources and livestock health. Many times\, there is more than one way to protect resources while keeping livestock healthy. This webinar will discuss options that can be planned within a total grazing management plan. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Designing of the Next Generation of Sustainable Urban Stormwater Practices
DESCRIPTION:The design of urban stormwater practices has been under continuous evolution over the last five decades in response to new sizing criteria\, flooding concerns\, changing climate and practice failure. This webcast will look into the future about what the next generation of stormwater designs may look like\, using bioretention and swales as case study. Future practices in the Chesapeake Bay watershed will need to provide more reliable pollutant removal\, be resilient in the face of extreme rainfall and have a sustainable maintenance burden that can extend their design life. CSN will briefly summarize some of the key research in each of these areas\, and discuss their implications for current and future design. Lastly\, CSN will suggest some pathways for adopting these changes into the next generation of stormwater manuals.\n\nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Standard Measurements of Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:Measuring and assessing soil health are 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 highlight how the Institute is using data from the North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements to develop a standard set of measurements for both monitoring and evaluating soil health. The Institute has collected over 30 measurements across 124 long-term agricultural research plots resulting in the analysis of over 2\,000 soil samples. This presentation will focus on how the Institute is classifying soil functioning\, associating specific soil functions with soil health measurements\, and using this new data set to inform measurement selection. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Lessons Learned from Indiana Conservation Cropping Systems On-Farm Soil Health Research/Demonstration Sites
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss the lessons learned by the Indiana Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) in a statewide program to establish soil health demonstration plots on farmers’ fields. In 2012 the CCSI started establishing on-farm trials to test different soil health practices and to use commercial soil health tests to document changes in soil health with time. The farmer cooperators were also a key part of the education/outreach team for field days\, workshops\, and small group interactions with other farmers not yet using soil health practices. This webinar will discuss some of the challenges of this project and some recommendations for future projects with similar goals. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:How's My Waterway
DESCRIPTION:An updated version of How’s My Waterway (HMW) was released publicly in June 2020. HMW provides a comprehensive overview of water quality data and information in the United States on three different scales: community\, state\, and national. HMW pulls in data from eight databases across EPA through web services with the goal of answering questions about aquatic life\, eating fish\, swimming\, drinking water\, restoration\, and protection. This live HMW demo is meant to help users:\n\nExplore information about their drinking water\, local stream conditions\, and whether their waterways are suitable for swimming or eating fish and if they support aquatic life.\nDiscover if their waterways are being monitored and the location of local monitoring stations.\nLearn what issues might be affecting their waterways.\n\nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Wisconsin Salt Wise
DESCRIPTION:All the salt that we bring into Wisconsin leaves in our freshwater. The salt that is applied to roads\, sidewalks\, and placed in our water softeners is silently salting our surface and groundwater. Salt is cheap to buy\, but the true cost of salt to freshwater\, infrastructure\, wildlife\, and vegetation far outweighs its purchase price. Learn about salt reduction efforts across the state and how you can adopt and promote smart salting practices in your community. \nRegister 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:Rotations and Management Strategies in Organic High Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss opportunities to include cover crops in high tunnel rotations and the potential impacts. Focused on organic management of high tunnels\, we will discuss rotations and the use of cover crops. Speakers will describe crop rotations from their respective regions and impacts on weeds and disease management. Participants will learn about the value of including cover crops and the opportunities to include them in various rotations. \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.
