SUMMARY:Field Crop Shop Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join Norm Deets\, who farms in Carroll and Ogle counties\, to discuss his experiences using conservation practices and cover crops on his farm to reach his goals of protecting the land\, reducing erosion and building organic matter. Norm has been no-till for the past 40 years and started cover cropping six to seven years ago. Alexa Skirmont with Precision Conservation Management will also present on the work she has been doing with Norm and dive deeper into economics of making management changes on farm\, giving us a glimpse into his land with precision maps.

SUMMARY:Making Weather-Informed Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Join Midwest Cover Crops Council for a webinar Wednesday December 17 12:30 ET/11:30 CT featuring Austin Pearson\, Midwestern Regional Climate Center Climatologist. \nLearn how to utilize two Midwestern Regional Climate Center (MRCC) resources via live demonstrations to assist in weather-informed agricultural decisions. The Freeze Date Tool helps growers identify the average day their area typically experiences the first fall temperature of 32°F or 28°F\, essential for timing fall cover crop planting and other field activities. Developed in partnership with the USDA Midwest Climate Hub\, this tool provides a detailed climatology of freeze dates across the north-central and northeastern US\, along with insights into decadal trends and growing season length for various temperature thresholds. The Ag Climate Dashboard is a free\, comprehensive web platform funded by the United Soybean Board. It combines climate and agriculture data to assist producers\, advisors\, and researchers throughout the Midwest. The dashboard provides real-time and historical weather information\, local National Weather Service forecasts\, Climate Prediction Center Outlooks\, interactive crop management tools\, and resources for analyzing climate trends and risks relevant to agriculture.
