This session covers the use of Web Soil Survey to identify Conservation Tree/Shrub Groups and using the CTSG group spreadsheet to select species of trees/shrubs to plant. We will review tree spacing specifications for different planting purposes and other tree/shrub selection factors. In addition, participants will become familiar with the Implementation Requirements worksheet for the 612 practice standard.   

This training is presented by Centrol Crop Consulting Agronomists Ian Olson and Ken Fransky.   They present information on soils in Minnesota, basics of fertility, general agronomic tools, making appropriate fertilizer recommendations, cost of fertilizing, fertilizer 101, producer decision making process and introduction to precision ag and variable rate technology tools and concepts.  

Duane Fogard, American Bird Conservancy Forester,  from the  Duluth Field Office,  will lead us in a review of commonly used forest equipment that we may encounter in the state.  This training is for anyone who is working in a region of the state who has significant areas of land dedicated to forests to consider attending, especially if you are newer to forestry or would like to “brush up” on terminology or identification of commonly used equipment, availability,  suitability, and limitations based on site characteristics.
