Description: This webinar will highlight both CEMA 216 Soil Health Testing and CEMA 217 Soil and Source Testing for Nutrient Management. It will compare and contrast both CEMA's to aid conservation planners, producers, qualified individuals, and technical service providers with planning and implementation of the activities.
During this webinar we will discuss when, where and why you should plan and implement CEMA 216 or CEMA 217. Soil Health Testing - CEMA 216 is the quantitative testing for biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of soil and constraints using approved laboratory methods. Soil and Source Testing for Nutrient Management - CEMA 217 is a sampling strategy for nutrient management measuring nutrient levels in soil and or nutrient source.

Description: This webinar will introduce P-SHEC to planners who work with producers and landowners to provide them economically viable and sustainable alternatives.
While soil health practices such as cover crops, no-till, and nutrient management are associated with improvements to water quality, drought resilience, and soil organic matter, some farmers may be reluctant to adopt new practices due to the uncertainty of potential costs of implementing a practice.
To address that challenge, American Farmland Trust (AFT), in partnership with USDA NRCS, developed a Predictive Soil Health Economic Calculator (P-SHEC) Tool to use with row crop farmers interested in adopting soil health practices. P-SHEC is a user-friendly online tool that estimates the potential long-term costs and benefits of adopting certain soil health practices, aiming to provide users with better-informed decision-making support. This tool should be used alongside conservation technical assistance and planning.

Description: Participants will learn about the extent of the problem of wind erosion on cropland in the US, the main mechanisms of wind erosion at the soil particle level, and the first of five strategies to solve the problem; increasing high carbon residue through a proper crop rotation and good residue management.
Participants will learn about the problem of wind erosion and the five main strategies to solve the problem. This is the first webinar in a three-part series.
