SUMMARY:tHRIve Web Series: Nature's Best Hope (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us.  Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Choosing the right plants for our landscapes will not only address the biodiversity crisis but help fight our climate crisis as well. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity\, why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one\, and why we\, ourselves\, are nature’s best hope.

SUMMARY:Farming with Soil Life Virtual Short Course: Southeast Region
DESCRIPTION:Join the Xerces Society’s Farming with Soil Life Short Course (virtual via Zoom) to learn about beneficial soil life! This online course will highlight the importance of macro and micro animals in soil that contribute to maintaining healthy and productive soils on working lands\, the functions they perform\, and guidelines for optimizing land management practices to support diverse soil fauna. This course is free to attend\, but registration is required. Visit the Xerces Society’s events page for more info. Learn more and register here today! \nThis short course training is funded by Southern SARE as a Professional Development Project and designed for farmers\, working lands managers\, NRCS staff\, Soil and Water Conservation District staff\, Extension Specialists and Educators\, Agronomists and other agricultural professionals\, and conservation practitioners in the Southeast SARE region (AL\, AR\, FL\, GA\, KY\, LA\, MS\, NC\, OK\, SC\, TN\, TX\, VA) interested in increasing their ability to interpret and manage land to support diverse aboveground and belowground ecosystems\, while also increasing crop resilience and soil health.  \nLearning Objectives \nImprove technical knowledge of major soil invertebrate groups in the southern SARE region\, including identification\, ecology and roles in soil health\, scouting methods\, and conservation strategies. \nBe able to conduct hands-on scouting and sampling of soil animals to evaluate species diversity in agricultural settings. \nUnderstand how invertebrate diversity may be used as a rough bioindicator of soil health\, and learn to compare the diversity of soil animals across areas with differing management practices. \nLearn practical\, science-based conservation strategies to help increase the abundance and diversity of soil animal life\, and how USDA Farm  \nBill conservation programs may be used to support adoption of these strategies. \nIncrease adoption of management practices that support soil invertebrates and soil health.

SUMMARY:Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Webinar (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the wellness needs of those working in agriculture or related areas will be the focus of several upcoming Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention webinars sponsored by North Dakota State University Extension. The 90-minute webinar will address concerns of high stress levels in agriculture-related jobs and the toll on mental and emotional well-being. \n\n\n\nResearch indicates the suicide rate is significantly higher for those working in agriculture. The QPR training will provide participants with awareness and skills to recognize warning signs of a mental health crisis or suicidal thinking and respond in an appropriate and supportive way. \n\n\n\nThough focused on individuals working in and around agriculture\, anyone interested in the topic can register. There is no cost for the training\, which is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. \n\n\n\nNDSU Extension agents Katie Henry\, Cavalier County\, Jill Sokness\, Cass County\, and NDSU Extension specialist Madeleine Smith\, will facilitate the webinar.

SUMMARY:Virtual Field Day: Evaluating Manure Application and Cover Crop Planting Timing to Maximize Water Quality Benefits in Corn (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:The virtual field day aims to provide valuable insights into the impacts of different cover crop systems and manure application methods on water quality and corn yield. In this innovative project\, funded in part by the Iowa Nutrient Research Center\, the focus is on how timing affects yield and water quality when comparing fall and spring manure applications. \n\n\n\nAny person interested in cover crops\, manure application or water quality is welcome to attend the virtual field day. Participants are also encouraged to bring any questions they would like to ask.

SUMMARY:QPR Suicide Prevention Training
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the wellness needs of those working in agriculture or related areas will be the focus of several upcoming Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention webinars sponsored by North Dakota State University Extension. The 90-minute webinar will address concerns of high stress levels in agriculture-related jobs and the toll on mental and emotional well-being. \n\n\n\nThough focused on individuals working in and around agriculture\, anyone interested in the topic can register. There is no cost for the training\, which is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. \n\n\n\nResearch indicates the suicide rate is significantly higher for those working in agriculture. The QPR training will provide participants with awareness and skills to recognize and respond to warning signs of a mental health crisis or suicidal thinking\, and how to respond in an appropriate and supportive way. \n\n\n\nRegistration is limited to the first 30 participants per webinar.

SUMMARY:MPF Webinar- Opening the Black Box: Soil Microbial Complexity- Part 1: Foundations of Soil Microbial Ecology in Prairies (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Soil is far more than a growing medium; it is a living system filled with unseen organisms that quietly regulate how ecosystems function. Join Dr. Sam Lord\, soil ecologist and Assistant Research Professor at the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry\, for a two-part webinar series where we will explore how diverse soil microbes\, most of which are still unknown to science\, interact with plants and their environment to move nutrients\, store carbon\, and help ecosystems remain stable through change. \n\n\n\nBy comparing native prairies with managed agricultural soils and using modern tools that let us see both who is there and what they are doing\, this work opens the “black box” of soil life. Together\, these talks show that soil is not a static backdrop for plants\, but an active\, dynamic frontier where biological interactions belowground shape the health and resilience of landscapes above ground. \n\n\n\nThis free webinar\, to be held via Zoom\, will include a presentation and a live question-and-answer session. The webinar will be recorded\, and a link to the recording will be sent to all registrants and posted to the MPF YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Brew Your Own Fertility: Practical Biofertilizers for Farms and Gardens (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Join Gabriella Soto-Velez and Leah Philips of ECHO Global for an in-depth training on making your own biofertilizers to reduce reliance on purchased inputs and shrink the carbon footprint of your fertility program. \n\n\n\nWe will walk through several low-tech\, farm-friendly fermentation methods and “biological brews\,” explain what each one is best used for\, and share simple recipes\, materials lists\, timelines\, and storage tips. You will learn how to choose feedstocks from what you already have on hand\, match biofertilizers to crop stage and soil needs\, and apply them safely and effectively. \n\n\n\nWe will also cover common mistakes\, troubleshooting\, and practical considerations for growers aiming to align with organic systems. Bring your questions! We will leave plenty of time for Q&A.
