It’s hard to find a bare spot on the more than 800 acres farmed by Cory Atkins of Seaford, Del. Even in the dead of winter, a carpet of ankle-high ryegrass blankets the soil where he plans to grow soybeans in the spring. In other fields, wheat and barley sown last fall poke through the dirt next to remnants of sunflowers, clover, and radishes.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2024&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e073a164a2c" style="font-family:Myriad Pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation
Life on Earth, including that of humans, depends entirely on ecosystem services. In spite of that, in the last 50 to 60 years, human activities have degraded ecosystems more rapidly than in any comparable time in human history. This is happening at a time when the global population is rapidly increasing to reach nine billion and other drivers, like climate change, overexploitation and pollution of natural resources, and economic growth, are also increasing.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2031&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e09215ee5f5" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

After three years of an unprecedented drought, a “Godzilla” El Niño formed in the western Pacific. Previous years with strong El Niños had been unusually wet, with the warm patch sending one wet system after another rolling into the region. California had essentially missed two years’ worth of precipitation. Surveying the wet season to come last fall, meteorologists said that El Niño was how it might restore the balance.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2037&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e073ba73e4f" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

This study, funded by the United Soybean Board, was conducted to understand the potential for cover crops to perform in a corn and soybean rotation, and to collect data on the performance of cover crops in those rotations in relation to the timing of termination. The research showed winter cereal rye that grew an extra three weeks prior to soybeans produced about 300-400 percent more biomass with a 100 percent increase in nitrogen retention, when compared with early terminated cover crops.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2043&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e073ea9ddb3" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Concerned about reducing nutrient runoff? Addressing the health of cropping soil and changing a few land management practices can often have a substantial impact. Iowa farmers are being asked to significantly reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus runoff from their fields, and some experts say the solution isn’t really all that complicated.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2050&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e0741b55608" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Take a road trip through the Midwest during the growing season, and it feels like you're moving through a sea of corn and soybeans grown largely for livestock feed or ethanol. But now, low grain prices and increasing pressure to clean up waterways may push some farmers to consider other options.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2056&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e073f9deb4b" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Want better streams? Plant some trees, according to a University of Georgia study.Researchers from UGA's Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources found that where landowners cut down the forests that bordered streams—turning them into pastures or lawns—the structure and even the amount of aquatic habitat changes dramatically. The study, published in River Research and Applications, looked at 49 streams in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin in the Southern Appalachians. It found that, without trees, the stream channel becomes narrower, and aquatic habitats are reduced by two-thirds in small fish-bearing streams.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2062&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e091c655a90" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Healthy soil can help out crop yields, reduce chemical input needs, and take care of water quality according to Iowa State University, but how much farmers know about its benefits has not really been researched. ISU Extension sociologist J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr. wanted to know, so he put together the 2015 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll, which is designed to find out farmers' beliefs about the benefits of soil health.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2068&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e09193f1fbf" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

When local yields range widely, Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie suspects farmers made big changes to their crop practices without thinking the system through. "The biggest yield crashes I see usually involve a transition from one production system to another," Ferrie says. Examples include switching from a corn-soybean rotation to continuous corn or from horizontal tillage (disk, moldboard plow or field cultivator) to vertical tillage (or, as Ferrie says, "farming in a vertical format").  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2074&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=56e073c9e655e" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
