The Conversation
One of the biggest modern myths about agriculture is that organic farming is inherently sustainable. It can be, but it isn't necessarily. After all, soil erosion from chemical-free tilled fields undermined the Roman Empire and other ancient societies around the world. Other agricultural myths hinder recognizing the potential to restore degraded soils to feed the world using fewer agrochemicals.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2024&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58e513e2971ab" class="gmail-m_-3226689646744478162ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The machines on the 5,000 acres where Jim Schmidt grows corn, soybeans, and wheat record reams of data as they work. They log how much fertilizer they spread, how much fuel they burn, how much moisture is in the soil and how many horsepower they're producing. Figuring out how to harness those metrics is a burgeoning "agri-tech" sector that aims to help farmers like Schmidt boost their profit margins — and harvest some environmental benefits, too.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2031&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58e514ff860ac" class="gmail-m_-3226689646744478162ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Three years ago, Congress voted as part of the 2014 farm law to wind down the CRP to a maximum of 24 million acres, its smallest size since 1988. Enrollment in the long-term land-idling program was down by 30 percent from its 2007 peak as farmers chased profits in the commodity boom, so the cap was a painless step that incidentally helped lawmakers meet their target for budget savings. Land retirement is on the table again as Congress prepares for the new farm bill.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2037&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58e50e70c374e" class="gmail-m_-3226689646744478162ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Conversation
President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans and most American farmers share common positions on climate change: They question the science showing human activity is altering the global climate and are skeptical of using public policy to reduce greenhouse gas pollution. But farmers are in a unique position to tackle climate change. We have the political power, economic incentive and policy tools to do so. What we don't yet have is the political will.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2045&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58e5100264edb" class="gmail-m_-3226689646744478162ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Gazette
Iowa is among states trying to reduce the amount of nitrates washing from farm fields into streams and rivers, where they can harm human health and are adding to the creation of an oxygen-deprived dead zone near the mouth of the Mississippi River in the Gulf of Mexico. Iowa has more than 70 sensors deployed this year on streams and rivers across the state that measure nitrate loads and concentration so observers can tell whether water treatment plant upgrades, wetland improvements and agricultural conservation practices are working to reduce pollution.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2051&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58e51313decc5" class="gmail-m_-3226689646744478162ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Ohio's Country Journal
Researchers at the University of Illinois collaborated with colleagues in Oklahoma to identify areas along a riparian zone, that is, alongside rivers that are susceptible to erosion. Predicting riparian erosion at the watershed scale is challenging because of the complex interactions between the different variables that govern soil erosion and the inherent uncertainties in measuring those processes. In this study, the researchers found that soil type and land use were the two most important variables.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2064&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58e513b6c90b1" class="gmail-m_-3226689646744478162ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
