AgDaily
Stewardship is a term that has been used by folks in agriculture for a long time to describe how they care for the land. Stewardship has been defined as "an ethic that embodies the responsible planning and management of resources" or "the activity or job of protecting and being responsible for something." Many folks in agriculture have been told they are good stewards of the land because they are good farmers or ranchers. Regardless of the methods of production, a good farmer does not necessarily equate to being a good steward.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2031&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5952a8340decd" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The National Law Review
Sixteen months after the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit entered its Order halting application of the 2015 Clean Water Rule ("Rule") nationwide, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order directing the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw and rewrite the Rule. Since that time, the EPA and the Corps have been taking steps in a complicated process to deliver the certainty and predictability long desired but never experienced.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2037&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5953fcae9165f" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Weather Channel
Every summer in the Gulf of Mexico a dead zone develops, and this year, scientists say, the low-oxygen area caused by excess nutrient pollution and an overgrowth of algae that can kill fish and other marine life will be about the size New Jersey. NOAA officials expect this summer's dead zone will be the third largest since monitoring began 32 years ago. It'll be roughly 8,185 square miles, compared to the average of 5,309 square miles.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2045&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5952aa3ddf48c" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Nitrogen and metals, like lead and mercury, can strain farmable land by polluting soil, damaging plants and, ultimately, posing risks to food security, according to the United Nations agriculture agency. Soil pollution due to human activities that leave excess chemicals in soils took centre stage at the 5th Global Soil Partnership (GSP) Plenary Assembly held at the Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) headquarters in Rome.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2058&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5952a62116041" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Southeast Sun
Farmers have been called the original conservationists because they have a rich history of tending to the delicate balance between soil and water that sustains life for all. Their love of the land drives what may well be the next major evolution in agriculture. Today's farmers use advanced tools and technologies that focus on the basics of plant science: how to make plants more efficient at taking up the essential nutrients they need.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2064&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5952a66c4a143" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Experts with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and Mississippi State University have developed a factsheet about surge irrigation, the first of its kind in the south. Surge irrigation is the intermittent application of water used to improve distribution uniformity along a furrow, said Christopher Henry with the Division of Agriculture Rice Research and Extension Center. Henry, along with Jason Krutz, an Extension irrigation specialist at Mississippi State University, composed a factsheet about how to properly use surge irrigation.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2070&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5952a86b9e54b" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Dr. Glover Triplett, research professor at Mississippi State University, has been honored by the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation for his pioneering more than a half-century ago that launched the no-till movement. "In the world of agriculture, it's rare that someone can bring about a positive, long-term change in farming practices," says Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation President Mike McCormick, "but Dr. Triplett accomplished that, and has become known as The Father of No-Till Farming."  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2077&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5952a911d841b" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Urban streams and wetlands play an important role in the proper functioning of our cities. They protect our houses from floods, provide green spaces for recreation, trap and breakdown pollutants and provide valuable habitats for many native plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians and birds. Protecting these wetlands and the life they support is vital, but our research has uncovered a nearly four-fold rise in the last five years in the presence of a particularly toxic chemical in wetland sediments. Moreover it would seem the chemical, bifenthrin, an insecticide, is killing our aquatic life.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2083&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5953fc62153c7" class="gmail-m_-6450879169743533171ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
