Understanding how water moves, stores, and is available for plant uptake in the soil is one of the first steps in crop water management. In this webinar, Dr. Izze Mcnamee (Extension Water Quality Specialist) discusses how to determine plant available water, monitor soil moisture, and apply these approaches in everyday irrigation management.
The fourth Focus on Forage webinar in the 2026 series, Focus on Managed Grazing, features research updates on forage cover crop species and varieties, cover crop forage quality, and factors affecting the success of diverse forage mixes.
The third Focus on Forage webinar in the 2026 series, Focus on Managed Grazing, features research updates on pasture and confinement economics, pasture species ID and selection, and soil carbon and soil health in pastures.
From drip tape and wobblers to hardening-off misters and seedling flood tables, irrigation design is always a custom job. So how do you (re)design your own? Join Tom Bryan for stories of success, regrets, and automation for 1-5 acre vegetable irrigation systems. Tom discusses his most recent farm project’s irrigation design, decisions he regrets, and […]
The second Focus on Forage webinar in the 2026 series, Focus on Forage Research, features research updates on on-farm NIR instruments, alfalfa yield and persistence, and forage quality and yield.
Disease prevention starts before we plant our first seeds of the season. In this webinar, learn more about hot water seed treatment and how this method can be used in combination with other integrated pest management (IPM) practices to reduce and prevent outbreaks of seed-borne diseases.
The first Focus on Forage webinar in the 2026 series, Focus on Forage Management, features research-based resources and management strategies to keep forage systems productive over time.
Dr. Shawn Conley discusses the agronomic side about what makes growing high oleic soybeans different, how they perform in the field, and key management considerations.
Crop removal of potassium (K) is high in common Wisconsin crops like alfalfa, corn silage, and high-yielding soybeans. When soil test levels slip too low, yields and crop quality can both suffer.
