This recorded webinar covers the biology of the monarch, its conservation status, and management techniques to improve breeding habitat for the butterfly.

A PowerPoint presentation developed by NRCS with these objectives: 

• Learn the basic components of a virtual fence (VF) system
• Explore Specifications from various company’s systems
• Discuss animal training requirements
• Gain a better understanding of what producers should consider when evaluating VF as a management alternative

The Minnesota Agroforestry Institute is a two and a half day workshop that includes classroom sessions and on farm visits. Participants learn how to integrate agroforestry concepts into a practical farm plan.

This training covers design and implementation of the five agroforestry practices:

• Alley Cropping
• Forest Farming
• Riparian Forest Buffer
• Silvopasture
• Windbreaks

In this webinar, participants will gain insights into the basic concepts of local adaptation in trees and explore the three types of assisted migration. Presenters will discuss the benefits of these practices, strategies to mitigate risks, and the decision support tools available to guide assisted migration decisions. This session is the first in a series of eight webinars on Tree Improvement.

Join Vasudha Sharma, U of M, as she demonstrates the Irrigation Management Assistant (IMA) Tool. She will discuss how to access the tool, how the tool is used, go through an example using the tool, and then how to interpret the results.

Rangeland Trust webinar about grazing technology on public and private rangelands in California. The discussion included an explanation of the technology available, current research & ongoing studies, rancher experience with using collars and virtual fencing, and possible funding from NRCS in the future.

A 3 part video series:  Explore the transformative potential of virtual fence technology in livestock management. Although it was first conceptualized in the 1980’s, virtual fencing has only recently become practical for working ranches, and its rapid evolution has significant implications for a broad range of land management and livestock production goals and values. This video series showcases early adopters from across the U.S., sharing their experiences and insights to help you effectively integrate virtual fencing into your operations. 

Join us to learn about three real-world examples of how virtual fence (VF) has been used for rangeland and livestock management. We hope this webinar will empower you to effectively evaluate VF for sustainable rangeland management. NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, this webinar was not recorded but the presentations are available for review.  

Join us to learn about the basics of virtual fence (VF) technology, including an overview of the components, potential applications, and compare the current and emerging VF vendors. We hope this webinar will empower you to effectively evaluate VF for sustainable rangeland management.

This one hour webinar is the first of a three part series on Virtual Fence.
