Už 11 rokov existuje „Národný štandard finančnej gramotnosti“. Ako to ale vyzerá s jeho aplikáciou na všetkých stupňoch vzdelávania na školách? Vedia si žiaci, študenti a absolventi našich škôl riadiť vlastné financie? Poznajú cenu práce? Vedia si vybrať z ponuky bánk, v ktorej si otvoriť účet alebo za akých podmienok môžu dostať úver na bývanie?

Women own nearly half of Iowa's farmland but are underrepresented in conservation decision making. The author conducted a study with 72 women farmland owners through learning circles and 73 participants through field days to understand barriers and opportunities regarding wetlands conservation. Key findings include gender barriers constraining conservation action, water quality concerns opening opportunities, and the importance of alternative social networks for women landowners. The implications are that addressing gender barriers, supporting new social networks, and leveraging water quality issues could help increase women's involvement in conservation.
The document discusses edge-of-field water quality monitoring research conducted by USDA-ARS on 40 agricultural fields in Ohio. The research aims to understand nutrient losses through surface runoff and tile drainage using instrumentation like H-flumes and sampling equipment. Preliminary findings show phosphorus losses are impacted by soil test phosphorus levels, fertilizer rate, timing and placement, and drainage management practices like cover crops and drainage water management can help reduce losses. The research is funded through various partners and collaborators are engaged to disseminate findings.
This document summarizes a study on Iowa farmers' awareness of and willingness to support the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. The study found that while awareness of the strategy is growing, more needs to be done to build awareness of agriculture's impact on water quality and solutions. Farmers who were more knowledgeable and concerned about these issues expressed greater support for the strategy's goals. Trust in extension sources was also associated with higher support levels. However, farmers primarily rely on private sector advisors for farming decisions, so engaging those advisors will be important for promoting nutrient reduction practices. Continued dialogue and research on farmer perspectives will be important for making progress on water quality goals over time.
Farmer-led research on water quality protection practices has been conducted on 20 farms over 15 years, involving 15 member steering committees. Called Discovery Farms, the program has collected a large dataset on diverse farm systems and locations. The research focuses on runoff, sediment, nitrogen, phosphorus, weather, and soil factors. Discovery Farms engages farmers in leadership roles and communicates credible water quality research results. It works with farmers at multiple scales and land uses, with an open approach rather than preconceived solutions. The future involves deeper farmer engagement through assessment tools for soil health, nitrogen use efficiency, and edge-of-field runoff data.
This document summarizes research using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to model critical source areas (CSAs) of phosphorus pollution in the Sandusky River watershed in northwest Ohio. The SWAT model was set up with detailed data on the watershed's terrain, soils, land use, crops, and agricultural management practices. The results show that identified CSAs changed over time and space due to tile drainage connectivity. Watershed-wide implementation of best management practices like reduced tillage, rather than targeting only identified CSAs, may be needed to meet pollution reduction goals. Future work includes updating the model with more recent data and climate change scenarios to further evaluate CSAs and best management strategies.
This document analyzes the effectiveness of farmer networks in Indiana at influencing nitrogen management practices. It summarizes research on two networks involving 250 and 30 farmers respectively. It finds that network farmers are generally younger, more educated and have larger farms than non-network farmers. While network farmers perform more conservation practices, they are primarily motivated by economic factors rather than water quality. The research also found limited evidence that network farmers influence practices of those outside the networks. To be more effective, it suggests networks should focus on reaching farmers needing the most change, through more inclusive and frequent interactions.

Cropping diversity and cover crops improve soil health under no-till systems. A long-term study from 2004-2014 at Ohio State University's South Centers evaluated the effects of different crop rotations (corn, corn-soybean, corn-soybean-wheat) with and without cover crops under continuous no-till. Results showed that biological soil health indicators like microbial biomass and earthworm populations were highest with crop rotation plus cover crops. This treatment also improved chemical and physical properties like carbon and nitrogen levels, aggregate stability, and water retention. Crop yields were highest under the rotation with cover crops, though yields lagged behind improvements in soil health. Maintaining soil quality requires using cover crops along with no-till and
Surveys of over 5,000 farmers in the inland Pacific Northwest from 2002-present found that:
1) Farmers trust other local farmers and crop advisors most for farming information. 2) Most farmers use the internet daily, especially websites and email. 3) Younger farmers are more likely to adopt new technologies like auto-steering. 4) Farmers are less concerned about climate change than urban residents and trust extension most for climate information. 5) Over 70% of farmers see soil conservation as important and engage in related practices. 6) Water conservation is also seen as important but less than soil conservation.
This document summarizes research conducted at different spatial scales to understand nutrient and pollutant transport. At the plot and lysimeter scale, researchers found preferential flow paths contribute 20-80% of tile drainage and phosphorus concentrations varied between lysimeter types. At the edge-of-field and watershed scales, monitoring linked increased algal blooms to dissolved phosphorus from agriculture. Educational programs emphasize the 4R nutrient stewardship approach, and monitoring evaluates its impacts on water quality and farmer behavior. Recommendations include soil testing, subsurface nutrient placement, and disconnecting hydrologic pathways.
This document describes using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation Version 2 (RUSLE2) to calculate soil erosion on a 160-acre field. Typically, RUSLE2 uses one set of parameters like climate, soil type, and crop/management practices for the whole field. However, the new approach calculates RUSLE2 values for thousands of small cells across the field to give a more distributed view of erosion. This distributed approach calculates erosion at a higher resolution of 9x9 meter or 3x3 meter cells rather than for the whole field.
Gypsum is a soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate that has a long history of use as a soil amendment in agriculture. It was used historically to preserve manure nitrogen and stimulate crop growth. Gypsum application can improve soil health by ameliorating aluminum toxicity, increasing infiltration, and providing sulfur and calcium to crops. Research has shown gypsum reduces phosphorus in runoff and tile drainage, improving water quality in watersheds impacted by agricultural phosphorus. Summaries of multiple studies found gypsum improved crop yields while reducing soil erosion and phosphorus movement from fields.
The Texas Well Owner Network (TWON) provides educational programs and water testing to well owners across Texas to protect groundwater resources and human health. TWON offers two types of programs - full day "Well Educated" trainings covering 8 topics, and shorter 1-hour "Well Informed" programs. Over 6,000 well owners have participated in TWON programs. Evaluations found a 30% increase in knowledge and over 99% satisfaction. Follow ups found participants adopted best management practices like annual water testing, well maintenance, and sharing information with others.
This document discusses the Conservation Professional Training Program (CPTP) run by Pioneer, which provides soil health training to agriculture professionals. It aims to empower professionals to promote soil health concepts to farmers. The training includes online courses and hands-on field sessions covering topics like cover crops and soil moisture management. A 2014 pilot saw positive results, with professionals reporting discussing soil health more with farmers. The 2015 training is expanding with revised online content and more field sessions. Widespread adoption of soil health practices will require a coordinated effort across the agriculture industry similar to past campaigns around conservation tillage.
The document discusses the major floods that occurred in Paducah, Kentucky in 1832, 1867, 1884, 1913, and most severely in 1937, which was referred to as the "Thousand Year Flood." It describes how the 1937 flood caused martial law to be declared, submerged the downtown area, and prompted the construction of floodwalls after the disaster to protect the city in the future. Paducah's population grew steadily through the early 20th century but declined after the 1937 flood and construction of flood protection infrastructure.
This document discusses the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) and efforts to improve conservation planning. It provides examples of CSP projects that improved soil health, productivity, erosion control and wildlife habitat on farms in Iowa, Texas, and Ohio. The next steps outlined are to provide more flexibility, respond to feedback, advance precision conservation, and better demonstrate outcomes. It also discusses coordinating CSP with other NRCS programs, connecting enhancements to conservation practices and standards, and promoting local priorities.
This study compared the effects of three cotton production systems - conventional tillage, no-till, and reduced tillage with a winter wheat cover crop - on soil strength and compaction in Arkansas over three years. Soil strength was measured using a probe that assessed cone index values in the soil profile. Results showed that in the first year, conventional tillage had the lowest soil compaction, while in the second year tillage treatment did not affect compaction. In the third year, no-till tended to decrease compaction the most, especially in cotton rows. Overall, conservation tillage systems can initially increase compaction but often lead to softer soil over time. No-till was also found to be the most cost-
The document discusses how adding water storage capabilities to existing USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) watershed rehabilitation projects can help boost resilience to climate change. It notes that the Watershed Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000 authorized NRCS to rehabilitate aging dams to extend their lifespan and meet safety standards, and since 2014 this program has allowed adding new or expanded water storage. Examples given of how added storage could help with climate change include capturing extra spring runoff to support summer baseflows or irrigation. The planning process for rehabilitation projects provides an opportunity to discuss climate-related storage options with stakeholders.
Sensor-based nitrogen management techniques can help reduce nitrogen usage and costs for cotton farmers. The document outlines a study in Coastal Plain soils that found sensor-based methods reduced nitrogen application by 15-100 lbs/acre for cotton compared to farmer practices, saving $9-60/acre. Soil electrical conductivity mapping and plant nitrogen rich strips were used to identify management zones. Mid-season plant NDVI readings from sensors were calculated in an algorithm to determine variable-rate nitrogen applications, accounting for soil amendments and previous crops. Results showed no yield differences between farmer practices and sensor methods, indicating potential for sensor technology to cut nitrogen costs for cotton growers.
Fall planted cover crops can help suppress glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth in cotton. Cover crops reduced early season Palmer amaranth emergence from the soil seed bank compared to no cover crop. Postemergence Liberty-based herbicide systems combined with residual herbicides provided better Palmer amaranth control. Cotton yield was unaffected by cover crop or herbicide program. Using cover crops and aggressive herbicides together can help reduce Palmer amaranth pressure.
