SUMMARY:Field School: Cover Crops & Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:Time to dig in! \n\n\n\n\nCover crops and healthy soils play a critical role in the success of any farm or garden\, cycling nutrients through the ecosystem\, increasing water infiltration\, and reducing erosion\, runoff\, and sedimentation. \nThis workshop will give an overview of fundamental soil health principles\, with a focus on how you can incorporate cover crops into your growing operation. You will learn practical ways to incorporate soil health practices into the management of your vegetable garden or urban farm. \nAbout the Field School \nThe Farm Alliance of Baltimore (FAB) is proud to launch Black Butterfly Urban Farmer Academy (BBUFA) Field School. Running from March to December\, this series of hands-on workshops is intended to serve as an accessible point of entry for anyone interested in learning the seasonal fundamentals of urban agriculture. No previous farming experience is required to participate! \nThe BBUFA Field School’s schedule is split up into three sessions: spring\, summer\, and fall. The majority of instruction will take place on site at FAB’s teaching farm in South Baltimore\, with occasional classroom sessions depending on content. \nLearn more about the history of the Black Butterfly Urban Farmer Academy program on our website. \nAbout the Facilitator \nNick Miller is the Healthy Soils Program Specialist at the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA)\, where he works with department staff and partner organizations to provide program assistance\, training\, and technical support to further soil health practice adoption throughout the state. As part of this role\, Nick administers the Healthy Soils Competitive Fund\, a farmer-led grant program which provides funding for innovative soil health practices\, projects\, and research in Maryland. Prior to his work with MDA\, Nick spent over a decade in farm management as well as agricultural production and education\, and was a founding partner of Good Dog Farm in Baltimore County. Nick holds a Master of Science in Agronomy with a concentration in Agroecology from the University of Florida. \nAbout the Farm \nFAB’s Black Butterfly Teaching Farm is our hub for food production\, farmer training\, and community connection in South Baltimore. With support from the City of Baltimore\, we signed a 15-year lease in 2021 and planted our first crops in Curtis Bay that fall. In 2025\, a generous grant allowed us to continue construction and expansion of the farm site\, which now includes a greenhouse\, a high tunnel\, and an apiary\, with more to come\, including more space for workshops and community gatherings\, new facilities to train the next generation of urban growers\, and more growing areas to support a wider variety of crops year-round. \nWe envision the Black Butterfly Teaching Farm as a place where we can grow food for Baltimore and cultivate a space where neighbors\, FAB members\, and aspiring growers can come together to exchange knowledge\, build skills\, and strengthen community. \nAdditional Information \nThis workshop will be held outdoors. Please wear close-toed shoes\, sun protection\, and weather-appropriate clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Be sure to bring a water bottle! Extra water\, masks\, hand sanitizer\, sunscreen\, and bug spray will be provided. \n\nParking: Street parking available on W Bay Ave.\nRestrooms: There is a port-a-potty on site.\nAccessibility: Paths at the farm are grass and woodchips. There is limited shade and seating on site\, please bring a chair if you need one!\nIllness: Please do not attend this event if you are sick or experiencing symptoms of illness including but not limited to fever\, coughing\, and/or vomiting.\nCancellation Policy: In the event that we need to cancel due to weather or unforeseen circumstances\, attendees will receive an email notification.\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Virtual: Making Sense of 45Z: Can Fuel and Food Co-Finance the Regenerative Transition?
DESCRIPTION:more info / register\nRegrow and Richards Lake Partners are excited to bring you a session on the overlap between food and fuel supply chains through the lens of 45Z\, the Clean Fuel Production Credit. Join us to understand the scale and scope of this incentive\, as well as opportunities for collaboration within specific crop supply chains. \nWith the USDA’s 45Z regenerative ag guidance now settled\, fuel producers have begun paying farmers to lower the Carbon Intensity (CI) of their feedstocks through conservation tillage\, cover cropping and nitrogen management. Meanwhile\, food and beverage companies have been funding the same set of practices\, often with the same farmers\, through their own sustainability programs. \nBoth markets are now competing for farmer attention. Can they work together instead?\nOn October 28th @ 1:00 PM Central\, Anastasia Volkova (Co-founder and CEO at Regrow) and Brad Justice (Founder at Richards Lake Partners) will walk through how 45Z works\, where the money goes\, and what it means for corn\, soy and the crops that rotate with them. Then we’ll get practical: how fuel and food companies can stack incentives and build programs that deliver for both growers and their supply chain partners. You’ll leave knowing where 45Z shows up in your supply chain and what to talk through with your suppliers or customers. \nRegister below and learn: \n\nThe basics of 45Z: CI scoring\, qualifying crops and practices\, and the USDA’s FD-CIC calculator\nHow corn\, soy\, sorghum\, canola and rotation crops split between fuel\, feed and food\nWhy geography matters\, and which regions stand to earn the most\nHow suppliers and food companies can stack incentives\, and considerations for existing commitments\nWhere 45Z adoption stands today\nWhat’s settled\, what’s still open\, and how durable the credit is likely to be\n\n45Z programs are already paying farmers\, and decisions about this year’s crop are being made now. Whether you work in sustainable procurement\, grain merchandising or conservation programs\, bring your questions and have them answered live.

SUMMARY:Virtual: Introduction to Areawide Assessment - CEMA 214
DESCRIPTION:More info / register\nTo introduce CEMA 214\, Areawide Assessment\, including 214 components\, possible examples\, and how NRCS assist with areawide assessments through existing agreements. \nCEMA 214 addresses the needs of partnering entities; towns\, regions\, organizations\, or Tribes\, for new or updates to landscape scale areawide assessments. This CEMA may be utilized to inventory and evaluate natural resource issues where no assessment currently exists\, or it may be used to assess the effectiveness of existing conservation work and/or to add additional inventory or evaluations that may be needed to address the land managers’ objectives or identified resource issues. Assessment\, inventory\, and evaluation information at the broad-based watershed or geographic scale assists with the consideration of various approaches to conservation management and can help to understand the success of past conservation implementation choices in large geographic areas such as watersheds\, landscapes\, or communities\, rather than focusing solely on individual farms. Areawide assessments can serve as the initial steps for meeting the objective of protecting farms and ranchlands\, preserving scenic vistas\, and safeguarding cultural heritage. \nPresenters: \n\nJoe Williams\, Soil Health Specialist (ACES Employee)\nJeanne Jasper\, OK State Conservationist\nPaul Finnicum\, Tribal Conservationist\nPedro Torres\, Management & Program Analyst

SUMMARY:Virtual: Improving Irrigation through Soil Health Practices
DESCRIPTION:more info / register \nImprove your understanding of how incorporating soil health principles through soil health practices can improve the efficiency of the applied irrigation by allowing for more of the irrigation water (and rainfall) to be absorbed into\, and retained within\, the soil. This is the key take-home message\, though soil health has a much broader physical\, chemical\, and biological impact on soil functions than just its water conservation potential. This webinar looks to assist planners addressing producers’ soil and water resource concerns on irrigated land. The focus is on understanding two key areas of conservation and how they interact: soil health and irrigation water management. \nRelated Files\n\nImproving Irrigation through Soil Health Principles PDF document 1351 KB The purpose of this technical note is to assist planners addressing producers’ soil and water resource concerns on irrigated land.

SUMMARY:Virtual: From Principles to Practice - A Guide to CEMA 215 In-Field Soil Health Assessment
DESCRIPTION:More info / register \nThis webinar will equip participants with the knowledge to conduct a CEMA 215 In-Field Soil Health Assessment. Attendees will learn the requirements and deliverables of the CEMA process and understand the four key soil health principles\, enabling them to apply these concepts to assess soil health effectively across land uses. \nThis webinar provides a detailed guide to the NRCS Conservation Evaluation and Monitoring Activity (CEMA) 215\, In-Field Soil Health Assessment\, and the foundational “Soil Health Principles” technical note. \nThe session will begin by breaking down the CEMA 215 document\, covering the definition of an in-field soil health assessment and its application to crop\, forest\, pasture\, and range land uses. We will detail the requirements for a Qualified Individual (QI) to perform the assessment and walk through the general and technical requirements—from the initial pre-work conference to the final summary of findings. \nThe presentation will then explore the “why” behind the assessment by delving into the USDA’s Soil Health Principles. We will discuss the four core principles. We will also highlight how the application of these principles varies across different land uses. \n  \nRelated Files\nCEMA 215 – In Field Soil Health Assessment PDF document 197 KB \nSoil Health TN 470-19 PDF document 3478 KB \nPresenters\n\nKate Glanville\, Agronomist\, NRCS-WNTSC\nJohanna Pate\, Grazing land Spec.\, NRCS (ACES)\nThomas Sauer\, Forester.
