SUMMARY:CCSI-SARE Fundamentals of Soil Health - Session 3
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\n***TO RECEIVE A CERTIFICAT OF COMPLETION FOR THIS TRAINING\, ALL 4 SESSIONS (3 VIRTUAL and 1 IN-PERSON) ARE REQUIRED.*** \n***Registration required by March 17 to allow adequate time for registrants to receive a Cover Crop field guide by mail*** \nThis train-the-trainer event provides a foundation for understanding how cover crops may be incorporated into Midwestern cropping systems\, including considerations for changes in nutrient and pest management\, as well as understanding cropping systems that can lead to improved soil health. The target audience for this training includes Indiana Conservation Partnership (Indiana NRCS\, Purdue Extension\, Indiana SWCD\, ISDA\, IDEM\, IDNR\, SSCB\, Indiana FSA) staff\, farmer-mentors\, agronomists\, and other ag professionals who have not attended Advanced Soil Health / Cover Crops Trainings. \n \nWHEN: \n\nSession 1 – Virtual: Tuesday\, March 31 – 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern\nSession 2 – Virtual: Tuesday\, April 7 – 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern\nSession 3 – Optional In-Person: Tuesday\, April 14 – 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM\, West Lafayette\nSession 4  – Virtual: Tuesday\, April 21 – 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern\n\nTOPICS: \n\nCover crops – Benefits\, selection\, and basic identification. Seeding and termination basics. Available resources.\nNo-till – Equipment basics\, adaptive systems management.\nInsect pests and beneficials – impacts of soil health systems\, pest management considerations.\nWeed management – basic weed management considerations\, impacts of herbicide carry over on cover crop establishment.

SUMMARY:Virtual: Diversifying the Corn Belt: Policy Pathways for a Resilient Agriculture Future
DESCRIPTION:CAST is partnering with Diverse Corn Belt to host a free public webinar presenting *Diversifying the Corn Belt: Policy Pathways for a Resilient Agricultural Future*\, a new policy brief examining what federal and state policy can do to support greater agricultural diversity in Illinois\, Iowa and Indiana — where 94% of crop production is currently dedicated to corn and soybeans. \nThe brief is grounded in three years of participatory research: 10 stakeholder meetings with 178 participants\, surveys of 725 farmers and interviews and focus groups with 136 producers across the region. It identifies 19 policy opportunities — ranked by feasibility and transformative potential — across crop insurance\, Farm Bill conservation programs\, post-harvest market infrastructure and institutional procurement. \nCo-first authors Lauren Asprooth (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Brennan Radulski (University of Vermont) will present the findings and lead a Q&A. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Virtual: Crowdsourcing Conservation - Financial Incentives Led by Local Farmer Networks
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis Sand County Foundation webinar will focus on the farmers’ perspectives of an alternative funding approach to conservation implementation. They will share the leadership approach of a farmer-led group and how their conservation goals were prioritized. The session will highlight the lessons learned from initiating and growing farmer peer groups\, while profiling the innovative\, farmer-driven strategies that are successfully driving water quality improvement.
