SUMMARY:Iowa Learning Farms Webinar: Lake Drainage in Iowa\, 1880-1920
DESCRIPTION:Jan. 11 presentation features Joe Otto\, Director of Special Projects for the Soil and Water Conservation Society\, highlighting an era in Iowa agriculture that changed the landscape and gave rise to water conservation consideration \n  \nAmes\, Iowa – The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Jan. 11 at noon CST will feature Joe Otto\, director of special projects and partnerships\, Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS)\, and doctoral candidate in history\, University of Oklahoma. Otto directs operations for over $2 million in federal and state grants\, including partnerships with Iowa NRCS and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. As SWCS historian\, he works to preserve the history of the Conservation Movement. His doctoral research focuses on the agricultural and environmental history of Iowa\, with a focus on drainage water management\, drainage districts\, and the contested process of planning\, building\, and maintaining drainage systems. \nIowa Learning Farms is an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conservation and water quality education program. \nIn the webinar\, “Lake Drainage in Iowa\, 1880-1920\,” Otto will offer a retrospective of a time in Iowa’s agriculture industrial development in which drainage of lakes forever changed the state’s landscape and gave rise to the creation of the State Board of Conservation (predecessor to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources) in 1918. He will discuss the goals and controversies surrounding lake drainage and the redefinition of the physical and legal barriers of the state’s numerous depressional lakes. Otto will also cite the sometimes complex conflicts over the benefits of drainage and the ethical stewardship of private lands and public waters. \n“During this historical period\, farmers and landowners established a large patchwork network of drainage infrastructure that continues to operate beneath Iowa’s fields and farms\,” said Otto. “Reconnecting with this historical moment in Iowa’s agricultural past that is as forgotten as it is brief provides a foundation for understanding some of the water conservation and quality challenges facing us today. Exploring Iowa’s history from the water’s edge makes the past a lot muddier.” \nParticipants are encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. People from all backgrounds and areas of interest are encouraged to join. \n  \nWebinar Access Instructions \n\nTo participate in the live webinar\, shortly before noon CST Jan. 11:\nClick this URL\, or type this web address into your internet browser: https://iastate.zoom.us/j/364284172\n\nOr\, go to https://iastate.zoom.us/join and enter meeting ID: 364 284 172\n\n\n\n\nOr\, join from a dial-in phone line:\n\nDial: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 646 876 9923 \nMeeting ID: 364 284 172 \nThe webinar will also be recorded and archived.

SUMMARY:Iowa Learning Farms Webinar: Tapping Floodplains in Conservation Planning
DESCRIPTION:Jan. 4 2023\, presentation features Iowa Geological Survey’s Keith Schilling discussing the capacity of floodplains to contribute to nutrient reduction goal achievement \nAmes\, Iowa – The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Jan. 4 2023\, at noon CST will feature Keith Schilling\, state geologist and director\, Iowa Geological Survey. Dr. Schilling’s research career at the Iowa Geological Survey has focused on a variety of water-related issues in Iowa\, including groundwater flow and quality\, surface and groundwater interaction\, watershed and floodplain processes and nonpoint source pollution. \nIowa Learning Farms is an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conservation and water quality education program. \nIn the webinar\, “Floodplains as Conservation Opportunities\,” Schilling will highlight research showing how a natural floodplain functions and interacts with its river and can be an integral part of watershed management planning. He will also demonstrate challenges for floodplain farming and identify opportunities for using floodplains to help meet nutrient reduction goals. \n“Floodplains line every creek and river in Iowa but are underappreciated in their ability to naturally sequester excess water and nutrients\,” said Schilling. “Floodplains provide a host of unique ecosystem services which can be tapped to reach nutrient reduction targets and help achieve long-term sustainability goals when utilized in watershed management plans.” \nParticipants are encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. People from all backgrounds and areas of interest are encouraged to join. \n  \nWebinar Access Instructions \n\nTo participate in the live webinar\, shortly before noon CST Jan. 4:\nClick this URL\, or type this web address into your internet browser: https://iastate.zoom.us/j/364284172\n\nOr\, go to https://iastate.zoom.us/join and enter meeting ID: 364 284 172\n\n\n\n\nOr\, join from a dial-in phone line:\n\nDial: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 646 876 9923 \nMeeting ID: 364 284 172 \nThe webinar will also be recorded and archived.
