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.

SUMMARY:Do the Numbers: Organic Dairy
DESCRIPTION:Thelma Heidel-Baker and Ricky Baker have a small\, family-run\, diversified organic dairy farm in the rolling hills of southeastern Wisconsin. For this field day\, they’ll share how they manage their grass-based\, organic dairy. They’ll cover: \n\n\n\nPasture management\nConservation practices\nPollinator habitat\nLivestock health\nSome of the financials to think about when running a grass-based dairy farm\n\n\n\nIn addition\, Jon Winsten\, an ag-economist with Winrock International and The Pasture Project\, will talk about the economics of grazing. Jon is working on a project examining Upper Midwest dairy farm financial case studies-from confinement to pasture-based operations. \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:Using Conservation to Improve Farm Profitability - 60-Inch-Row Corn + Interseeded Cover Crops
DESCRIPTION:Nathan and Sarah farm using in-field conservation practices that reduce soil loss\, increase soil health\, reduce inputs\, and provide forage for livestock. They also target edge-of-field conservation on marginal lands to provide water quality and wildlife benefits while improving return on investment on farmed acres. We’ll chat with Nathan twice over the course of the season to learn about conservation he’s using on his farm to increase profitability.  In part 1\, Nathan will discuss planting corn in 60-inch rows with interseeded cover crops\, and he’ll share the environmental and agronomic benefits he sees – or hopes to see – from the practice. \nLearn more and register here.
