Williston Herald
The state of Iowa has adopted a voluntary Nutrient Reduction Strategy, inspiring more strategies for filtering farm water before it reaches streams. One such strategy is the installation of "bioreactors" at the edge of fields. A bioreactor is a trench filled with wood chips. When water flows into it, the bacteria in the water "eats" the wood chips, then "breathes" the nitrate, converting it into nitrogen gas. That way, cleaner water is discharged into waterways.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2029&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b2d0e1594d" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Corn+Soybean Digest
The concept of soil health is gaining widespread attention because it promotes agricultural practices that are not only good for the farmer, but also good for the environment. An abundance of research shows that improving soil health boosts crop yield, enhances water quality, increases drought resilience, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases carbon sequestration, provides pollinator habitat, and builds disease suppression. To help implement widely-applicable, consistent measures of soil health, the Soil Health Institute announces its endorsement of 19 national soil health measurements.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2036&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b754846cd1" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Sandia National Laboratories via Phys.org
A new study is testing whether one of California's largest and most polluted lakes can transform into one of its most productive and profitable. Southern California's 350-square-mile Salton Sea has well-documented problems related to elevated levels of nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural runoff. The research team intends to harness algae's penchant for prolific growth to clean up these pollutants and stop harmful algae blooms while creating a renewable, domestic source of fuel.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2042&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b757b42b9c" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The largest and most common source of error in the soil testing process is with collecting the soil sample. The test results can only be as accurate as the sample, in terms of representing the nutrient needs of the field. There are many facets of the soil sampling process, and each should be carefully managed.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2050&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b329d1b163" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Officials at a U.S. Department of Agriculture office told staffers to avoid the term "climate change" in their communications and use language like "weather extremes" instead, The Guardian reported Aug. 7. According to emails obtained by The Guardian, officials told staffers in the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to change the way they discuss climate change in their work.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2056&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b2cb0b7343" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Lake Champlain is a valuable and treasured resource in Vermont. It provides drinking water, recreational opportunities and, of course, spectacular scenery. Through voluntary conservation, the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has worked hand-in-hand with local producers to plan and improve soil and water management practices throughout its adjacent watersheds. Recently analyzed models indicate a reduction of phosphorus runoff into the lake as a result of these effective efforts.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2063&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b3213eb368" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet joined his colleagues, Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., John Boozman, R-Ark., Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., in cosponsoring the bipartisan Improving Access to Farm Conservation Act to improve access to voluntary farm conservation programs administered through the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The bill would remove some of the reporting requirements for small farmers, making it easier for them to take advantage of tools to protect soil and water resources and improve wildlife habitat.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2069&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b310d60643" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt met with farmers, elected officials, and ag industry leaders to hear feedback on re-writing the Waters of the U.S. Rule (WOTUS) under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The controversial rule has been put on hold by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals amid strong opposition from farm organizations, home builders and others who consider it to be an overreach of federal regulations. Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to rescind or revise it.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2076&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b75cc95c61" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Drought-stricken areas anxiously await the arrival of rain. Full recovery of the ecosystem, however, can extend long past the first rain drops on thirsty ground. According to a study published Aug. 10 in Nature, the length of drought recovery depends on several factors, including the region of the world and the post-drought weather conditions. The authors warn that more frequent droughts in the future may not allow time for ecosystems to fully recover before the next drought hits.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2082&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=598b760a3d416" class="gmail-m_-3704583259214739947ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
