SUMMARY:11th International Drainage Symposium
DESCRIPTION:As a leader in edge-of-field conservation practice adoption\, the Soil and Water Conservation Society is partnering with the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) to help bring you the 11th International Drainage Symposium\, to be held in Des Moines\, Iowa\, August 30-September 2\, 2022. \nTwo days of sessions will highlight drainage research\, practice design\, implementation\, and policy. The third day of the symposium will feature field tours highlighting some of the innovative drainage work happening in the local area. The challenge of increasing agricultural production on the world’s poorly drained soils in a changing climate\, with ever-increasing water quality and quantity concerns\, will require technical\, economic\, policy\, and social perspectives. The symposium will provide an opportunity for the research\, agency\, industry\, and practitioner communities to interact\, share experiences\, and address emerging issues related to agricultural drainage. \nVisit www.swcs.org/22IDS for more information\, or to submit your abstract. Also available are details regarding exhibitor and sponsor opportunities and a draft agenda-at-a-glance.

SUMMARY:Climate Webinar: Managing Water and Nutrients in a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:Managing nutrients and water in a changing climate: Thoughts from an agronomist in the land of 10\,000 lakes \nThis coming Monday\, August 29\, 2022 at 1PM CST \nIn the middle of the North American continent\, Minnesota sits in an interesting and dynamic climatic region. At the edge of the humid-to-dry climate transition\, and with long\, harsh winters that are warming faster than almost anywhere else in the United States\, it faces some unique challenges and opportunities as the climate changes. In this webinar\, University of Minnesota Extension Educator Greg Klinger discusses some of these potential challenges related to agricultural management of water and nutrients. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Cover Crop and Soil Health Field Day to be Held at LICA Farm Near Melbourne August 25
DESCRIPTION:Iowa Learning Farms\, Marshall County Soil and Water Conservation District\, USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and Iowa Land Improvement Contractors Association (LICA)\, will host a cover crop and soil health field day Thursday\, August 25 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the LICA Farm near Melbourne. The free event is open to farmers and landowners and includes a complimentary meal. \n  \nCover crops continue to gain popularity in Iowa due to their many benefits including reduced soil erosion\, weed suppression potential\, reduced nitrogen and phosphorus loads entering water bodies\, and increased organic matter in the soil. When paired with no-tillage additional benefits include increased water infiltration and reduced erosion during heavy rain events. This field day aims to equip attendees with best management practices for establishing cover crops and maintaining yields during the transition to a higher residue system of no-tillage and cover crops. \n  \nFayette County Farmer Loran Steinlage has been experimenting with different cover crop species on his farm over the past few years utilizing the longer establishment window provided by harvesting winter cereal rye for seed. He also has experience with companion/relay no-till cropping and currently produces corn\, soybeans\, cereal rye\, winter wheat\, malt barley and buckwheat. Attendees will be able to hear from Loran about what he found works and what doesn’t and ask questions. Marshall County NRCS will offer some hands-on soil health demonstrations that farmers can utilize in their own fields. Liz Ripley\, Iowa Learning Farms conservation and cover crop outreach specialist\, will share results from on-farm cover crop demonstration trials and best practices for establishing and managing your cover crops. \n  \nThe field day be held at the LICA Farm located at 1723 290th St\, Melbourne\, IA 50162 and will be held rain or shine. The farm is located on the north side of the road and field day signs will mark the driveway to enter. \n  \nThe event is free and open to farmers and landowners\, though we require reservations to ensure adequate space and food. For reasonable accommodations and to RSVP please contact Liz Ripley at 515-294-5429 or ilf@iastate.edu.  Attendees will be entered in a drawing for ISU Prairie Strips honey. \n  \nIowa Learning Farms field days and workshops are supported by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
