Models & Tools to Improve Manure Management: Part II
This webinar features the Oregon NMPT, an internet-based record keeping and planning tool, and the Ruminant Farm Systems (RuFaS) project, which aims to build an integrated, whole-farm model that simulates milk, meat, and crop production, and critical metrics of sustainability from ruminant farms. This presentation was originally broadcast on October 20, 2023. Continue reading “Models & Tools to Improve Manure Management: Part II”
Webinar Series
The Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Community offers a free monthly webinar on a variety of issues related to animal manure management.Next Live Webinar
The next webinar will be held on August 21, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central. In this webinar, we will discuss how the use of plastics in agriculture contributes to soil contamination, microplastic pollution, and reduced long-term soil health. Single-use plastics like mulch films, bale wrap, and silage bags and covers can degrade into contaminants that can alter soil pH, disrupt microbial communities, and hinder plant growth. Additionally, plastic residues can leach hazardous chemicals, which could end up in the food chain. The panel will address the concerns with plastic use in agricultural settings, alternatives to traditional plastics, recycling of agricultural plastics, and equipment design to manage agricultural plastics.
