SUMMARY:Cover Crops & IPM: Managing Pests by Working with the System
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. John Tooker\, Professor and Extension Specialist in Entomology at Penn State\, for a research-based look at how cover crops\, no-till management\, and integrated pest management (IPM) interact within cropping systems. \nDr. Tooker will share insights from his research in no-till\, and cover-cropped systems\, including what farmers are learning about planting green and its potential value. He will also explore how soil health practices can influence pest and beneficial insect communities\, with particular attention to slugs\, the soil food web\, and the unintended effects insecticide and neonicotinoid seed treatments can have within these systems.

SUMMARY:Solar and Farmland: Navigating Local Land Use\, Conservation\, and Farm Economics
DESCRIPTION:As solar energy development continues to grow across Illinois\, agrivoltaics is being explored as a way to balance renewable energy production\, diversify income streams\, and conserve farmland. Agrivoltaics is a developing field exploring how to integrate solar energy production alongside agricultural production. New projects are prompting community leaders to consider the potential benefits and tradeoffs of agrivoltaics.   \nExplore trends and research around solar development and farmland conservation in this free webinar that covers:   \nHow solar energy development is affecting local land use\, including solar land leases\, the rate of farmland conversion to solar development\, and an overview of the Agricultural Impact Mitigation Agreement process required in Illinois that ensures land developed for solar is restored to pre-construction conditions.  \nAmerican Farmland Trust’s Smart Solar initiative\, which brings solar developers\, landowners\, farmers\, community organizations\, and policymakers together to advance policies and programs that support renewable energy adoption while strengthening farm viability and protecting natural resources.  \nAn analysis of the cost and benefits of row crops and solar panels from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institute for Sustainability\, Energy\, and Environment Sustainability Colocating Agricultural and Photovoltaic Electricity Systems project.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Commitment: Using Collective Action and Motivational Strategies for Persistent Conservation in the Western Lake Erie Basin with Heather Craska
DESCRIPTION:Addressing water quality challenges and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the Western Lake Erie Basin is fundamentally a collective action problem. While temporary financial incentives can encourage individual farmers to try a practice\, this often results in fragmented adoption scattered across the landscape rather than the coordinated\, watershed-scale coverage required for meaningful ecological impact. \nApproaching Year 4 of The Pilot Watershed Project\, our longitudinal research and social network analysis examine how program elements\, such as annual research feedback from partner scientists\, peer-to-peer networks\, and systematic barrier reduction\, build broader community coordination and foster long-term behavioral persistence. This session will explore findings from the watershed and discuss implications for scaling these strategies to establish local environments where producers remain motivated to maintain conservation practices after financial incentives end.

SUMMARY:Fall Field Day and Potluck at Pasture Grazed Regenerative Farm
DESCRIPTION:Pack your camp chair and join Illinois Women in Conservation for a grazing-focused Potluck Field Day! \nThe field day will take place at a Pasture Grazed Regenerative Farm\, where host Rosalie Trump farms alongside her dad and brother.  Join ILWiC and learn how this family farm has made the transition to regenerative agriculture\, and hear how the journey has impacted their farm legacy and community. As is tradition at Women in Conservation events\, the day will begin in a Learning Circle\, giving everyone a chance to introduce themselves\, connect\, and share their experiences\, questions\, and conservation goals. \nThen the group will head out onto the land with Rosalie to see regenerative agriculture in action. During the field tour\, you’ll explore adaptive grazing\, virtual fencing\, grazing cropland\, and integrating cover crops while hearing about the family’s experiences putting these practices to work on their farm. Along the way\, Rosalie will share what she has learned and the role these changes have played in the farm’s evolution. Today\, Pasture Grazed produces regeneratively raised meat and sustainably grown grains while also welcoming people onto the land through educational farm tours and events.
