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:Tillage Management and Structural Conservation Practices
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, the presenter will compare tillage management practices and structural conservation practices in use by growers in 2013-2016 to those in use in 2003-2006 to evaluate changes in practice adoption between the two time periods. Tillage management system practices include conventional tillage\, no-till\, and conservation tillage; structural conservation practices include buffer strips\, filters\, terraces\, contour farming\, and strip cropping.  Approaches to tillage management and structural conservation practices used by growers have shifted significantly between the two periods\, with the trend toward less tillage and more comprehensive cropland conservation treatment. Information presented will include conservation plan data from NRCS field offices. \nFind connection information here.

SUMMARY:No-Till Oat and Rye Production
DESCRIPTION:Martin has been a long-time user of no-till and cover crops. It was his cover crop that got him into growing rye for his own cover crop seed. He then decided to further diversify his farm with an oat crop. This virtual farm tour will showcase both rye and oats in the field\, and Martin will share the lessons he’s learned about producing both crops\, from no-till planting in soybean residue to harvesting and cleaning the product. \nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:Aquatic Plant ID Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In place of the usual hands-on summer aquatic plant identification workshops\, we are holding one virtual webinar this year. We will be covering a similar set of species as we would at the hands-on workshops\, and the day will include rotations with multiple staff covering different groups of plants. There will be time for Q&A after each group of species\, and a longer Q&A session at the end. We realize it won’t be the same as the hands-on sessions with live plants and field ID practice\, but we hope this is a valuable alternative to prepare those of you that will be doing point-intercept surveys or other aquatic plant work this season. This webinar will also be recorded for later viewing. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Conservation Drainage - Managing Water for the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join the North Central Climate Collaborative for their next webinar Conservation Drainage – Managing Water for the Future featuring John McMaine. \nTile drainage is widespread throughout the Midwest.  As weather patterns continue to shift toward more precipitation outside of the growing season and less precipitation during the growing season\, water management will need to continue to adapt to provide resilience. Conservation drainage is a concept that incorporates methods of storing water or treating water in the landscape or edge-of-field to increase resilience and improve water quality while maintaining the agronomic benefits of tile drainage.  This webinar will cover some of the recent research in conservation drainage\, how they can be incorporated into new and existing practices\, and what the future of conservation drainage might look like. \nRegister here.
