LAND AND WATER SPONSORED WORKSHOPS
|
Producer-Led
|
This webinar features Jim Isermann of the Soil Health Partnership (SHP) as well as two farmers, Dan Roehrborn and Nick Klei, who participate both in the SHP and in DATCP’s Producer-Led Watershed Protection Grant program. The SHP has built a farmer-to-farmer network to explore the economic and environmental benefits and risks of soil health practices. SHP collects on-farm data to evaluate the impacts of soil health practices on the soil, the environment, and the farmer’s bottom line.
Dan and Nick will share their experiences working with SHP and what they’ve learned about various soil health practices so far. Jim will cover how to get involved and what SHP has learned through their data collection efforts.
Dan and Nick will close out the webinar by discussing their experiences working with the Sheboygan River Progressive Farmers producer-led group and how these two projects work together.

Nitrogen Use Efficiency:
A Guide to Conducting Your Own Assessment
Are you interested in monitoring Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) on your own fields? UW Discovery Farms has created a guide that will lead you through the process of conducting your own NUE study. Calculating NUE can be relatively simple and offers insight into how N management can be altered in order to achieve economically optimum yields while reducing nutrient losses to the environment.
In the guide you will find 1) Things to consider when selecting NUE fields 2) How to set up a zero-N plot 3) Soil sampling requirements and recommendations 4) Best management practices for calibrating your yield monitor 5) Data collection and analysis responsibilities.
