Description: The Data-Intensive Farm Management (DFIM) Tool uses precision agriculture technology to design on-farm precision experiments, enabling farmers to increase profits by making data-driven management decisions. As part of a Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG), DFIM was enhanced to allow the tool to store, manage, and process raw field-trial data; analyze results; and generate reports on site-specific input management which can be executed with a single click. The presentation will cover how use of difm.farm could dramatically improve various Adaptive Management and Precision Management scenarios in NRCS Conservation Practice Standards 329 Residue and Tillage Management- No Till, 340 Cover Crops, 345 Residue and Tillage Management-Reduced Till, and 590 Nutrient Management, generating far more useful data at far lower costs to crop producers and taxpayers.

Description: The objective of the webinar is to explain the purpose and limitations of the National IDIQ for A&E Services, identify stakeholder roles and responsibilities, explain the process of placing a task order, and provide guidance on administering task orders. Participants will better understand the current IDIQ functions, requirements, and typical implementation procedures for the issuance of a task.

Description: This webinar will provide an in depth look at aeration technologies used to maintain pumpable manure in deep pits beneath dairy and beef slatted floor facilities. The session will cover the motivation behind adopting aeration systems, including challenges with agitation, high solids manure, hydrogen sulfide risks, and confined space safety concerns. Drawing from New York installations and ongoing Cornell PRO DAIRY research, the presentation will discuss system design considerations, operational lessons learned, impacts on manure handling logistics, and observed improvements in barn air quality. Practical guidance, common pitfalls, and resources for further learning will be included to support NRCS engineers working with producers considering these systems.
Introduce a novel aeration-based approach for maintaining pumpable manure in deep pits beneath dairy and beef slatted floor facilities. Highlight ongoing Cornell PRO DAIRY research on system performance in beef operations and share updated findings, operational considerations, and safety implications.
