SUMMARY:Exploring Small Grains for Forage and Options for Portable Watering
DESCRIPTION:Are you a young grazier wanting to explore integrating small grains for forage and other uses? How about options for portable watering systems when you are grazing remote pastures? Are you a seasoned grazier with direct experience and/or connections relevant to these topics that could help a beginning grazier get going? Hop on the Online Pasture Talk featuring Nicollet grazier Dan Coffman. Dan will share his experiences incorporating Kernza and a heritage winter wheat in fall 2019 into his crop rotation to diversify\, build soil\, produce grain\, and provide grazing forage for livestock. Dan also plans to walk us through his innovative mobile watering system he converted from an old silage wagon that can also store portable fencing supplies\, tools\, and approximately 20 hay bales. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Adapting to Climate Change While Balancing Water and Air Resources with Farm Viability
DESCRIPTION:It is critical to maintain and support practices available to farms that help make them more resilient to the effects of a changing climate. Improved feed management has the capacity to save money through greater feed efficiency. Combining this with better manure management also offers farms the opportunity to better adapt to extreme weather\, while reducing methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Other social\, environmental\, or economic considerations will also be addressed in this presentation. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Using the NRCS Solid-Liquid Separation Handbook
DESCRIPTION:NRCS developed a new technical document entitled “Solid-Liquid Separation Alternatives for Manure Handling and Treatment.” This document brings together both the theory behind solid-liquid separation and the practical application of many different separation technologies. Several farm-scale demonstration projects are also summarized in the report. Solid-liquid separation can serve to achieve many livestock operational objectives such as nutrient partitioning\, improved pumping characteristics\, solids removal from storage facilities\, and reduced organic loadings. The use of separation technologies is essential for many operations and has become an integral part of the efficient performance of these livestock facilities. Some of the purposes and uses of this document include assisting in solid-liquid separation technology selection\, evaluating separation performance\, and quantifying the impact of solid-liquid separation on manure management. The document also includes information on the uses and benefits of coagulants and flocculants and separation methods associated with sand-laden manure. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Scaling Up Pastured Livestock Production
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar to learn more about what it would take to scale up pastured meat production on your operation. The presenter is Franklin Egan\, PhD\, Director of Education with Pasa Sustainable Agriculture. He will share the results of a new study called Scaling Up Pasture Livestock Production which was produced in partnership with ten pastured livestock farms in Pennsylvania and explores how much land and feed it takes to produce a pound of grass-finished beef\, pastured pork\, or pastured chicken. Lessons learned will help farmers to improve their yields and bottom line. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Exploring Forage Potential in a Rotationally Grazed\, Perennial Pasture System
DESCRIPTION:Are you a young grazier wanting to explore rotational grazing of diverse\, perennial pastures? How about techniques for increasing forage productivity and quality to extend your grazing season? Are you a seasoned grazier with direct experience and/or connections relevant to this topic that could help a young grazier get going? Fire up your computer and join the Online Pasture Talk featuring southeastern Minnesota grazier Zach Knutson. He will share his recent experiences planting parcels of highly erodible soil to a perennial pasture mix to help expand his land base while sequestering carbon and improving soil in those spots. Zach also plans to discuss lessons learned in the first year of daily rotations and the benefits he is seeing in his pastures from cutting paddock sizes in periods of slow growth. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Manure Application Considerations During Dry Soil Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Maximizing the nutrient availability and retention of applied manure for the upcoming crops begins with proper handling and application to the land. During dry conditions\, it is even more important as those nutrients are especially vulnerable to being flushed from the system during future rain events. Dougherty led a study at the ISU Northeast Research near Nashua to examine the effect of manure application timing and cover crops on yields and drainage water quality. During the virtual event\, Dougherty will share results from that project and similar projects\, as well as provide best management practices for applying manure for the upcoming crop year. “This field day will give producers some tips on planning ahead for fall manure applications. We will discuss some challenges specific to applying manure in very dry conditions as well as the benefits of using manure and cover crops together as an integrated system for improving utilization of manure nutrients\,” noted Dougherty. \nLearn more here.
