Upland Land Treatment

WisconsinWisconsin - Engineering for Agronomists

trainingDescription
This day-long on-farm and classroom training is intended for technical service providers.  USDA-NRCS instructors will walk a farm with students to explain how to evaluate the need for ephemeral, gully and sheet and rill erosion; and sediment control.   Instructors will then explain how to select conservation practice alternatives that fit the farm’s landscape and producer’s management system and objectives.  Emphasis will be placed on protecting the soil resource and protecting the water resource on fields receiving nutrient applications.  Knowledge gained will help qualify TSPs to work on the Land Treatment portions of CNMPs and nutrient management plans without relying heavily on agency personnel for help. 
 
Who Should Attend?
Technical Service Providers and other agronomists who work with producers to implement some portion of conservation planning, prepare Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans (CNMPs), write nutrient management plans, etc. and need to have knowledge of soil erosion and how it is predicted or modeled. 
 
Pre-requisites
Participants will need knowledge of the RUSLE2 soil loss model and have some experience using the program.
