The Washington Post
In the mid-2000s, a perfect storm of conditions led to a decade of grassland destruction in North Dakota's share of the prairie pothole region, a vast expanse of grassland and wetlands that stretches from eastern Alberta to northern Iowa. Corn and soybean prices were high, climate change had extended the growing season and genetically modified crops could now survive in the northern plains. And then the oil boom hit. In just six years, North Dakota lost half of its acreage that was protected under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program as biodiverse grasslands fell to the plow.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2025&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576ab1ef1e99a" style="font-family:'Myriad Pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Future food security depends on a variety of factors — but better soil data could substantially help improve projections of future crop yields, a new study out of Europe shows. To project how much food can be produced in the future, researchers are using agricultural models that estimate crop yield, or how much of a crop can be produced in a certain amount of space. These models take into account factors like climate and weather variability, irrigation, fertilizer and soil type.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2032&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576b026e89c60" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The federal Environmental Protection Agency has issued new directives on cleaning up 12 sections of Lake Champlain, measures that are expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The EPA's plan, released June 17, sets the Total Maximum Daily Loads of phosphorous that can be released into the lake from a variety of sources, including agriculture, stormwater and stream bank erosion.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2038&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576ac6e35fc95" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture recently announced the launch of a new Science Advisory Council focused on informing the membership-based organization's "science-based approach to delivering sustainable outcomes at the field and landscape levels." Comprised of 12 experts, the Council is being asked to develop a sustainability standard for commodity crop production in the United States that "helps catalyze continuous improvement in environmental outcomes."  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2044&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576b02422c03e" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Farm & Ranch
One of the great attributes of a no till farming system is the ability this type of crop production system provides to manage water. Continuous no till crop production systems allow us to better manage the moisture we receive from Mother Nature by capturing and storing this moisture in the soil more efficiently than we can with conventional tillage. No till farming practices also reduce the loss of moisture through soil evaporation. Increasing organic matter content of the soil also improves water infiltration and water holding capacity of the soil.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2051&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576ab0e33f39b" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

High Plains Journal
The House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Conservation and Forestry held a hearing May 17 to highlight the impacts of environmental regulation and voluntary conservation solutions. This was the fifth hearing in the "Focus on the Farm Economy" series, where each of the six subcommittees are tasked with examining the growing pressure in rural America from the perspective of the subcommittee. Members heard from two panels of witnesses, including farmers and ranchers who are utilizing voluntary, incentive-based programs to protect and preserve our natural resources, while also maintaining profitable production on their land.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2063&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576ab2b986357" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Lancaster Farming
Three farms in Pennsylvania's Pequea Creek watershed will soon be getting a full set of pollution-reducing upgrades, thanks to a state grant secured by the Lancaster Farmland Trust. The trust is known for helping Plain farmers preserve their land from development, but the nonprofit also helps farmers become better stewards of their soil and water, said Karen Dickerson, the trust's communications director.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2070&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576ac99d0306c" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Soil Erosion News Today
Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have published a new study that demonstrates that agricultural conservation practices in the upper Mississippi River watershed can reduce nitrogen inputs to area streams and rivers by as much as 34 percent. The study combined USDA's Conservation Effects Assessment Project data with the USGS SPARROW watershed model to measure the potential effects of voluntary conservation practices, which historically have been difficult to do in large river systems, because different nutrient sources can have overlapping influences on downstream water quality.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2076&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=576b0216973ae" style="font-family:'myriad pro',arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
