This document discusses sustainable practices in upstream catchments from the perspective of an economic regulator. It notes that catchment management is catching on due to its low cost and pollution control benefits. However, evidence and delivery of projects have gaps, including a lack of prioritization, coordination, and alignment between organizations. The next steps mentioned include developing a baseline of best practices, examples of sector accountability, and balancing voluntary and incentive-based approaches.

Jeff Biggs of Tucson Water presented recommendations on the Decision H2O program to the Mayor and Council. He summarized Tucson's water history and efforts to shift from groundwater to renewable supplies. Extensive outreach was conducted, including consumer panels that found most prefer the higher 650 mg/L mineral content option. A triple bottom line assessment additionally showed this option has more benefits environmentally and financially, though mineral levels will continue being monitored. The recommendations are to allow mineral content to gradually rise towards Colorado River levels, continue education, and develop long-term salinity plans.

This program aimed to educate dairy producers on best milking practices to decrease somatic cell count (SCC) and increase profitability. Over 300 producers participated in one-day workshops covering milking procedures, facility sanitation, and mastitis detection. A follow-up survey found that 89% of participants implemented new practices like using strip cups and milking gloves. 83% saw reduced SCC, averaging a decrease of 162,000 cells. This led to estimated increased profits of $4,000-$7,000 per farm through improved milk quality and production. The workshops were effective at teaching producers to adopt standardized operating procedures.

The document summarizes a project called "GPS 101: Technology for Better Land Management" that held workshops to educate landowners on GPS and GIS technologies and how they can assist in land management. The project consisted of eight introductory workshops held across various counties in Alabama. 142 people attended the workshops, most having no prior experience with geospatial technologies. Post-workshop evaluations found attendees' knowledge increased by an average of 23% and that many have since incorporated these technologies into their own land management practices. The project outcomes demonstrate that educational workshops are effective for promoting adoption of GPS and GIS tools.
Md small flock research survey 2012 poster (1) draft (2)
University of Maryland Extension conducted a statewide survey in 2011 to evaluate the impacts of its Small Flock Poultry Educational Program (SFEP). The survey found that 41% of participants reported improved flock health and a 20% increase in income after using SFEP resources like workshops, publications, and website. Participants also implemented biosecurity practices they learned like isolating new/show birds, controlling traffic, sanitation, dedicated footwear, and composting mortality. The SFEP held 12 workshops across Maryland from 2008-2012 for over 250 small flock owners on topics including biosecurity, diseases, management, and processing. The goal was to promote small flock education throughout the state.

This document describes methods tested to train new Master Gardeners to manage a telephone resource line for horticultural questions. Trainees were given real examples from the line and taught resource line management. Having an experienced gardener assist during the first calls and the coordinator's availability were found most effective based on surveys. As a result, 100% of trainees planned to volunteer for the line the following year.

This study evaluated the use of Environmentally Smart Nitrogen (ESN), a polymer-coated urea fertilizer, for wheat production in northwest Ohio. A medium maturity wheat variety was planted into soybean stubble with 5 nitrogen treatments applied at green-up: urea, ESN, and blends with 25%, 50%, and 75% ESN mixed with urea. Grain yield was highest for urea and blends with at least 50% urea. ESN alone yielded less than urea but had a higher test weight. The number of heads was lower for ESN than urea. ESN may be a viable nitrogen source when blended with at least 50% urea.
Haller hay feeding poster
This document describes a study demonstrating how managing hay feeding can build soil fertility without commercial fertilizers. Over two years, hay was unrolled across demonstration fields rather than feeding in the same area each time. Soil samples showed that phosphorus increased by 22 lbs/A and potassium increased by 172 lbs/A in year 1, and phosphorus increased again by 22 lbs/A and potassium by 148 lbs/A in year 2. By spreading nutrients from the hay and livestock waste over larger areas, soil fertility was increased without purchasing commercial fertilizers, saving producers money and preventing the accumulation of phosphorus and potassium in small areas.

1) The document evaluates two commercial precision agriculture software packages for their ability to automate the process of designing and analyzing on-farm research trials.
2) As an example, the document describes how one software was used to design a study comparing fertilizer recommendation strategies using soil sampling grids to lay out plots.
3) Yield data from the plots was analyzed in the software using buffers to isolate yield values within each plot. No significant yield differences were found between the fertilizer treatments in the example field.

2012 cotton beltwide curry poster2
1) The study evaluated management strategies for the southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in cotton production in Appling County, Georgia.
2) Treatments included planting a partially resistant variety (PHY 367B2RF) with and without a seed treatment nematicide (AVICTA Complete Cotton), and fumigating plots of both varieties with Telone II.
3) Results showed that fumigation with Telone II provided the greatest benefits, including reduced root damage, higher yield (413 lbs/acre more), and gin turnout compared to non-fumigated plots.

This document summarizes a 3-year study comparing wheat yields using swine finishing manure versus urea as a spring fertilizer. The study found:
1) Wheat yields were not statistically different between surface applied manure, incorporated manure, and urea applications across four fields over three years.
2) Using swine manure provided similar yields as urea and saved farmers $70 per acre compared to purchased urea.
3) Applying manure to growing wheat results in better nutrient utilization and less nutrients escaping fields compared to applying to dormant fields.

A study evaluated using commercially available solar thermal panels designed for swimming pools to heat a greenhouse and extend the growing season. An 800-gallon insulated water tank heated by 5 solar panels maintained the greenhouse at 50°F. The system produced over 3 million BTUs of heat during the study period and required 1.6 million additional BTUs from a propane backup heater. The solar system cost $2,000 and provided over $150 in annual savings on propane, resulting in a payback period of 13 years.
