Evaluation of Environmental and Economic Benefits of Dairy Manure Treatment Technologies
When: May 12, 2026 1:30 pm Eastern
Sponsored By: USDA-NRCS
Through a Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG), Newtrient evaluated 15 manure management technologies used in dairy systems. The project applied a modified version of an NRCS evaluation approach aligned with Conservation Practice Standard 629, Waste Treatment. Evaluation periods ranged from 15 to 52 weeks, depending on the technology. Newtrient collaborated with colleges and universities across the country to collect samples and develop detailed evaluation reports. These assessments focused on how each technology influenced nutrient levels—specifically nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—across different waste streams. In addition to environmental performance, the project also examined economic factors, including implementation costs and potential returns. Each technology was documented in a comprehensive evaluation report using the established Newtrient protocol based on the modified NRCS framework. Because several of the technologies involved manure separation, the project also produced a supplemental white paper comparing three separation technologies and exploring their potential applications. All reports and project materials are publicly available on the Newtrient website at https://www.newtrient.com/about/our-work/grant-funded-projects/2020-nrcs-conservation-innovation-grant/
This webinar provides an overview of a range of dairy manure management technologies, with a focus on their environmental performance, water quality impacts, and economic considerations.
Sponsored By: USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Aquaculture basics presented by field-based, farmer-serving university and producer-organization partners for NRCS staff to better support aquaculture producers. This session will covers aquatic animal nutrition and health, hatchery and farm management, water quality control, and system design.
Aeration Systems for Maintaining Pumpable Manure in Deep Pits for Dairy and Beef
When: Jun 10, 2026 2:00 pm Eastern
Sponsored By: USDA, Natural Resources Conservation service
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.
Livestock 101: Cervids (Elk and Deer) and Camelids (Llama and Alpaca)
When: Jun 26, 2026 1:00 pm Eastern
Sponsored By: USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Livestock production basics presented by field-based, farmer-serving university and producer-organization partners for NRCS staff to better support livestock producers. This session will covers cervid and camelid nutrition and body condition, reproduction, health and biosecurity, animal and waste facilities, management and handling practices.
Leading through Mentorship: Coaching Skills that Build Capacity in Extension

Phytophthora Diseases on Trees and Shrubs in Urban and Forest Environments
When: Nov 4, 2026 1:00 pm Eastern
Sponsored By: SREF
Dr. Steve Jeffers (Professor and Extension Specialist – Clemson University) will discuss the biology, impact, and management of phytophthora in both forested and urban settings.
Phytophthora root rot - Edward L. Barnard, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, bugwood.org
Phytophthora, derived from Greek and meaning “plant destroyer,” is among the most destructive plant pathogens worldwide. But what exactly is it? Phytophthora is a genus of fungi-like organisms called oomycetes, or water molds, responsible for a wide range of plant problems including wilts, cankers, blights, root rots, and even mortality in severe cases. It can be found impacting plants in both forests and urban settings with notable species including P. cinnamomi (root rot), P. infestans (potato blight), and P. ramorum (sudden oak death). In this webinar, Dr. Steve Jeffers will cover Phytophthora biology, its impacts, and potential management strategies.
