SUMMARY:The Current: Grazing\, Livestock\, and Water Resource Management
DESCRIPTION:Managed grazing can have a number of water-related benefits including flood reduction\, improved water quality\, nutrient and water efficiency\, and increased water infiltration and retention. Tune in to this month’s edition of The Current webinar as we hear the latest research on grazing’s impact on ephemeral streams\, current efforts to use grazing to improve water quality\, and ongoing educational efforts to communicate the role of perennial forage in protecting municipal infrastructure. \nFeatured Speakers: \n\nSandy Smart\, Professor & SDSU Extension Rangeland Management Specialist\, South Dakota State University\nJanet Jewett\, Midwest Perennial Forage Working Group Coordinator\, Green Lands Blue Waters\nDani Heisler-Wodill\, Regenerative Agriculture Outreach Coordinator\, Valley Stewardship Network

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:Leaps and Bounds - How to Jump Over the Barriers to Preventing the Spread of Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:In 2018 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources hired the consulting team of Azentive and Beyond Attitude Consulting to evaluate Aquatic Invasive Species(AIS) pathways. The work included identifying human behaviors that could reduce the spread of AIS through those pathways. An extensive literature review was conducted\, and an expert panel was convened to identify and rank behaviors that could reduce the risks of AIS spread by people. Through targeted surveys and engagement with stakeholders\, the factors that are important to a successful program to change behaviors in Minnesota were identified. The factors include existing attitudes and awareness about the risk of invasive species\, the likelihood of adoption of preventive behaviors\, barriers that may prevent some people from taking action\, and what might motivate them to take those actions. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:The 2017 National Resources Inventory 5-year Release\, 35 Years of National Resources Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:The National Resources Inventory (NRI) program collects and produces scientifically credible information on the status\, condition\, and trends of land\, soil\, water\, and related resources on the Nation’s non-federal lands. The NRI samples points in 49 states (excludes Alaska)\, Puerto Rico\, and the Virgin Islands to assess resource quantity and quality\, creating a longitudinal data set containing variables from 1982\, 1987\, 1992\, 1997\, and annually from 2000 through 2016. This unique data set provides a foundation over time for regular resource appraisals on the effectiveness of soil and water conservation practices\, irrigation techniques\, and farming technologies\, techniques\, and practices. This presentation will provide an overview of the NRI and will include highlights from the 2017 NRI data release (to be released in September 2020) as well as an explanation of the types of data available and how to get access to it. \nRegister here.
