SUMMARY:Prescribed Fire in the Field
DESCRIPTION:Fire moving across an open field is a heart-stopping sight for most. However\, properly managed field fires\, called prescribed fires or burns\, are beneficial to native habitats. \nThe Wetlands Initiative’s Smart Wetlands program and Illinois Pheasants Forever\, Inc. & Quail Forever are inviting farmers\, landowners\, and natural resource professionals to learn more about how fire can improve natural resource areas containing grassland\, pollinator\, and wetland habitats. This opportunity is offered in two parts. \nThe first is a one-hour webinar that provides an overview of why and how prescribed fire is used in the Midwest to manage native\, grassland\, and wetland habitats. The program will be presented by Illinois Pheasants Forever/Quail Forever staff members at 10:00 AM CST on Thursday\, January 29\, 2026. \nThe actual prescribed burn will take place at a Smart Wetlands near Saunemin\, IL. At this location\, participants will gather in a farm field near the fire site. A fire crew will burn the wetlands and surrounding buffer while IL Pheasants Forever staff members provide a “play-by-play” description of what is happening as the burn progresses and answer questions. \n

SUMMARY:Driving the Business of Conservation with Ag Retailers
DESCRIPTION:Ag retailers hold tremendous influence through their role in guiding farmers’ purchasing decisions and providing agronomic advice. Increasingly\, evidence shows a strong business case for ag retailers to promote conservation practices and sustainability as part of their agronomic services. Across the agricultural landscape\, innovative business models and partnerships are emerging to advance these goals. \nTogether\, these initiatives represent a growing movement to align agricultural profitability with environmental stewardship. They reflect a growing recognition of the role that sector can play in addressing natural resource concerns while supporting economic viability for farmers. \nDuring this webinar\, attendees will learn about the different business models being used to engage private-sector agronomists in conservation\, gain insight into the sector’s perspectives on their role in scaling efforts\, and leave with practical ways to collaborate with this influential group in their own areas.

SUMMARY:Cover Crops and Soil Health for Better Crop Fertility Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Cover crops and soil health continue to be key management considerations on many farms. This webinar will feature Dr. Andrew Margenot and Heidi Allen Asensio discussing how cover crops influence nutrient management and soil function. John Pike will also join to provide a field-level perspective. \nThe program will begin with a look at non-cereal rye cover crop options\, including nitrogen-fixing species and what research shows about their role in supplying nitrogen. Presenters will also address how cover crops can affect fertilizer needs\, nutrient availability and soil moisture across tillage systems. The soil health segment will focus on practical soil testing tools\, how organic matter contributes nutrients\, and an overview of biological products and mycorrhizal fungi\, including potential benefits and ways to evaluate them in the field.
