SUMMARY:Lower Fox Farmer Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:January 26 (9:00-11:30 a.m.) – We will start with a welcome from Alliance for the Great Lakes and the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance. This will be followed by a panel session made of farmers and nutritionists discussing their use of cover crops as alternative forages. Come ready to ask questions! We will wrap up the event with our keynote speaker Tom Kilcer who will talk about the economics of winter forage\, nutrient retention\, and the impact on following crops.\n\nFebruary 2 (9:00-10:00 a.m.) – Manure Management: Hear about John Vandenboom’s experience with digestors and solids\n\nFebruary 9 (9:00-10:00 a.m.) – Grazing: Learn about grazing from Adam Abel and hear about Dan Diedrich’s experience implementing grazing on his farm.\n\nFebruary 16 (9:00-10:00 a.m.) – Irrigation: Hear from John Vandenboom and Nick Dallmann about their experiences using pivot irrigation and irrigation guns.\n\nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Opportunities with Silvopasture: More Than Just Animals in The Woods
DESCRIPTION:Silvopasture is an agroforestry system that combines trees and forages with livestock management. Join us while we discuss the fundamentals of silvopasture and hear from landowners and professionals on their experiences in implementing silvopasture as a land management practice. \nIn addition\, learn how to use a soil health kit and about soil health training programs available to farmers and agricultural professionals in and near 9 key element watersheds through the UW-Madison Division of Extension Conservation Professional Training program. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Development of ACPF and Use by NRCS for Watershed Planning
DESCRIPTION:Nutrient and sediment losses from agricultural watersheds have impacts on aquatic and marine ecosystems of the U.S. Improving agricultural water quality requires planning and voluntary installation of new conservation practices through producer engagement. Practices must be selected and located to be effective based on a watershed assessment\, and appropriate for each landscape and each individual farm operation. To help meet this challenge\, ARS scientists in Ames\, Iowa\, have developed the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) to provide watershed databases and software tools that can be used to present realistic options for placement of conservation practices that can improve water quality outcomes. High-resolution data on land cover\, soil survey\, and topography are analyzed to identify a suite of conservation practice options to reduce impacts of runoff and subsurface tile drainage on water quality. This webinar will describe the ACPF and a current NRCS project aimed to facilitate evaluation of ACPF results for selected NWQI and CEAP watersheds in 15 states. \nLearn more here.
