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.

SUMMARY:Soil Health Master Class Presented by Dr. Liz Haney
DESCRIPTION:This intensive masterclass will provide an in-depth exploration of the revolutionary Haney Soil Health Test\, developed by soil chemist and microbiologist Rick Haney. Unlike traditional soil tests that rely on statistics from labs or single geographic areas\, the Haney Test treats each field as a dynamic\, living system\, examining soil from a holistic and biological perspective rather than the typical physical and chemical approach.What You’ll Learn:– How the Haney Test uses H3A extraction to assess individual field variables– Understanding soil health data collection and interpretation– Real-world applications for improving soil health and farm productivity– Strategies for implementing soil health practices that rebuild rather than deplete soil function– How to read and apply test results to make meaningful improvements on your own farm \n\n\n\nSoil_Health_Masterclass_Press_Release_FINALDownload

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.

SUMMARY:MPF Webinar: Opening the Black Box- Soil Microbial Complexity- Part 2: Soil as the Final Frontier (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 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. By 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. The first part of this webinar series will occur on March 25\, 2026. \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:NACD Conservation Coffee webinar- Brewing Partnerships: Tackling Nitrate in Northeast Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jim Olson\, Source Water Protection Specialist\, learn how proactive outreach and producer partnerships are protecting drinking water in northeast Nebraska. \n\n\n\nNitrate contamination remains a persistent drinking water challenge across agricultural regions of the Midwest. This presentation shares an outreach model used in northeast Nebraska to proactively engage producers and communities whose water supplies are approaching the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency nitrate maximum contaminant level. The session will highlight communication strategies\, measurable outcomes\, and lessons learned and explore the value of building a collaborative Source Water Protection Network to expand conservation impact.

SUMMARY:Livestock guardian dogs: Practical insights from the pasture
DESCRIPTION:As predator pressure remains a constant challenge for livestock producers\, North Dakota State University Extension and University of Minnesota Extension sheep and goat specialists will provide an informative webinar to help protect animals. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will feature a sheep producer who has owned guardian dogs for decades. \n\n\n\nIt will feature guest speaker Janet McNally\, owner of Tamarack Lamb & Wool. McNally brings more than four decades of sheep-rearing experience\, including twenty years of full-time management in a large predator environment near Hinckley\, Minnesota. \n\n\n\nWhile McNally began utilizing guardian dogs in 1982\, her expertise was put to the ultimate test in 1999 when a pack of 23 wolves moved into her immediate neighborhood. For the following decade\, she successfully managed a group of eight to 12 livestock guardian dogs\, deterring wolves\, bears\, bobcats\, coyotes and fishers from her flock. \n\n\n\nThe webinar is free to attend\, but registration is required.
