SUMMARY:Focus on the Future - May 8th
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa Nutrient Research Center continues its spring 2024 seminar series\, Focus on the Future. Join current and recent graduate students as they discuss their studies and their experiences as early career researchers. \nOn May 8th\, the seminar topics are: \n1) Evaluating Wildlife Responses to Working Land and Water Conservation  \nPresenter: Michael Rohde\, Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management. Advisor: Adam Janke \nIowa’s urbanized and agricultural landscape has caused water quality degradation and loss of species. Conservation groups are working to protect these resources\, but they often lack coordination. To provide insight on the impact of water quality conservation on wildlife. He will provide estimated occupancy of key Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) across Iowa informed by the Iowa Multiple Species Inventory and Monitoring (MSIM) long-term dataset and the simulated various scenarios of water quality conservation using the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) to estimate potential effects of water quality conservation on the distribution of SGCN in Iowa. \n2) Managing Crop Residue to Reduce AONR (Agronomic Optimum N Rate) for Water Quality \nPresenter: Alexandria Logan\, Department of Agronomy. Advisor: Michael Castellano \nWith renewed interest in using crop residue as biofuels and increasing yields\, research aiming to understand the effects of residue management on the soil nitrogen cycle is necessary. This research evaluates crop residue management’s influence on optimum nitrogen rates\, focusing on the subsequent corn crop. \nThe presentations are from 3:10-4:00 p.m. and take place online and at 1306 Elings Hall on the Iowa State University campus.

SUMMARY:Iowa Learning Farms Webinar: Understanding and Improving Farmers' Edge-of-Field Perceptions
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place May 8 at noon CT will feature Wendong Zhang\, Ph.D.\, extension economist and assistant professor in the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. Zhang’s research focuses on issues related to the interplay between agriculture and the environment\, the U.S. farmland market\, as well as the global trade implications of Chinese food and agricultural demand. \nIn the webinar\, “Decoding Iowa Farmers’ Understanding of Edge-of-Field Practices\,” Zhang will draw on the outcomes from a recent report assessing edge-of-field (EOF) practice knowledge and adoption to illustrate current EOF practice adoption rates and adoption willingness\, perceived environmental benefits\, and barriers to adoption among Iowa farmers. He will also offer suggestions on effective education strategies which were shown to be embraced by landowners and farmers—and improved effectiveness of communication and message comprehension. \n  \n
