Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has scheduled a five-part workshop series to train livestock producers and service providers how to use the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 2 (RUSLE2) and the Iowa Phosphorus Index in nutrient management and manure management plans.
The series will be provided via the Zoom platform and is set for Aug. 10-14, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. each day. Participants will receive daily links to join each day's Zoom session.
Participants will be divided in to breakout rooms within Zoom to work in small groups on real field examples. These examples also will be used to determine risk calculations of the Iowa Phosphorus Index and how to incorporate these numbers into manure and nutrient management planning requirements. Manure management planning, soil sampling requirements, common errors and the IDNR’s review process also will be discussed.
Registration for the workshop is $150 when registered by Aug. 5, and is limited to 15 participants. For additional details and to register for the workshop, please see the workshop website.
