This webinar will highlight the Integrated Landscape Modeling Partnership (ILMP) and its application to wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region in the northern Great Plains.
In this webinar, planners will learn how to plan and contract pollinator habitat plantings. Guidance will help planners improve the success of habitat restoration plantings with adequate site preparation, implementation, and periodic maintenance during the plant establishment period. We also will discuss how to assemble a suite of practices to make the process easier for […]
This webinar will provide a basic understanding of PFAS. Some of the questions that will be answered include: What is PFAS? Where did it come from? Where is it found? What are the potential issues related to PFAS?
Join this webinar explore options and opportunities when planning for the winter months in a livestock grazing operation. During the winter months, grazing operations often face their biggest challenges when dealing with both environmental degradation of the natural resources and livestock health. Many times, there is more than one way to protect resources while keeping […]
This webinar will discuss the lessons learned by the Indiana Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) in a statewide program to establish soil health demonstration plots on farmers’ fields.
This webinar will discuss opportunities to include cover crops in high tunnel rotations and the potential impacts. Focused on organic management of high tunnels, we will discuss rotations and the use of cover crops. Speakers will describe crop rotations from their respective regions and impacts on weeds and disease management. Participants will learn about the […]
Join us for this webinar as we discuss which cover crops, herbs, and cut flowers best support pollinators, predators, parasitoids, and have extra value for culinary or ornamental use. Cover crops, herbs, and cut flowers provide forage and nesting sites for pollinators and natural enemies of crop pests (such as wasps, flies, and beetles). Learn […]
Speakers will describe the state of soils in high tunnels and some issues of concern. Participants will learn about soil health measures, the effects of soil disturbance, and interactions between nutrient management and cover crops. Learn more here.
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 […]
Information in this webinar is based on the potential soil health benefits of various alternatives to conventional tillage and associated production practices. Demonstrations presented will teach participants methods of comparing financial outcomes of adopting Soil Health Management Systems. Learn more here.
