Extractions: The potential for erosion on a particular field depends on the following factors: When handling erosion problems, potato growers should combine a number of soil conservation practices in a well executed farm plan. The objective should be to reduce erosion rates on agricultural land to levels that will maintain long term sustainability and to protect the downstream natural resources. The figure outlined below shows the value of integrating the use of two or more of the BMPs described in this booklet. Individual farms need to develop their own strategy for implementing an appropriate conservation practice or set of integrated practices. Soil Conservation Strategy Based on Risk of Erosion Low Risk hedgerows A soil conservation strategy must be based on a knowledge of the risk of erosion on a particular field. Low risk fields can often be managed with simple and relatively inexpensive practices. Greater risk will require more intensive conservation management. Practices should be integrated into a strategy that builds on "low risk" practices. For example, a field with "moderate" risk of erosion requires practices in addition to "low risk" soil conservation practices. Likewise, "high risk" fields require strategies that build on "low" and "moderate" risk strategies.

Extractions: Nutrient management planning maximizes the application of nutrients in the manure according to crop nutrient needs. This practice aids to protect water quality by eliminating over application of manure and/or commercial fertilizers. The success of a Nutrient Management Plan requires consistent sampling and laboratory analysis of manure and soil, manure spreader calibration and good record keeping. Nutrients contained in the manure are effectively utilized when the actual nutrient content of the manure is known, when the spreading rate is known, and when the manure is uniformly spread on a field. Manure is a Valuable Resource! If you are not following a Nutrient Management Plan you may simply be throwing away money in excess fertilizer costs. Over application of fertilizer may also lead to significant environmental consequences to surface and ground water resources. Many livestock producers do take some crop nutrient credit for the manure applications they have made, however, if you are not testing the manure, your efforts are guess work at best. Manure test results can vary as much as 200% from farm to farm and even from year to year on the same farm. Livestock health, feeding rations, and manure storage conditions all have an effect on the nutrient content of manure.

Extractions: The Agricultural Best Management Practices Loan Fund (Ag.BMP) Program provides low interest financing for individuals to install conservation practices or purchase conservation equipment. An annual allocation from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is available to farm operators and agricultural land owners for implementing water quality improvement projects. The Ag.BMP Loan Program is a 3% low interest loan option to rural landowners within Dakota County for conservation practices. Ag.BMP funds can be allocated for installing feedlot and manure storage systems, replacing or upgrading individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS), sealing abandoned wells, purchasing conservation tillage equipment designed to allow for higher levels of crop residue, or installing terraces, diversions, sediment and water control basins. To be eligible for the program, applicants must:

Conservation scientists and foresters manage, develop, use, and help to protect these and other natural resources. Foresters Throughout the forest management and procurement processes, foresters consider the economics as well as the environmental impact on natural resources. To do this, they determine how best to conserve wildlife habitats, creek beds, water quality, and soil stability and how best to comply with environmental regulations. Foresters must balance the desire to conserve forested ecosystems for future generations with the need to use forest resources for recreational or economic purposes.

Extractions: Management Impacts on Soil Quality: Illinois Soil Quality Initiative (ISQI)- Phase II (97-62) Strengthen ISQIÕs baseline data set by adding sites where diverse crop rotations have been used. Tie soil quality parameters to specific performance criteria (biological productivity, water partitioning and environmental buffering). Develop implementation strategies with cooperating farms, Natural Resources Conservation Service and others who use soil quality information. Second Year of a Three Year Project - Annual Report - The Illinois Soil Quality Initiative (ISQI) has been working with farmers throughout Illinois, looking at physical, chemical and biological soil properties in farm fields. To date, ISQI has focused on land under conventional and no-till management, as well as, on soils that are relatively non-disturbed. Our goal has been to identify measures of soil quality that will help managers improve stewardship decisions. Cooperating farmers have voiced strong interest and support for the project. Key elements of ISQI phase two are the addition of fields with diversified crop rotations and refinement of soil quality data for better interpretation and use.

Extractions: Ever heard of a "watershed"? Despite the fact that we all live in a watershed , most of us don't know the actual meaning of the word. Put simply, a watershed is all the land that drains into a given body of water. This body of water can be a creek, pond, river or ocean. Generally speaking, the larger the body of water, the larger its watershed. The Chesapeake Bay watershed, for example, covers 64,000 square miles and drains from six states including 60 percent of Virginia. The map above depicts the Old Dominion's major river watersheds (there are 497 subwatersheds). One thing all of these watersheds have in common is people, and where you have people, you have land altering activity. When we alter land - to farm, to build, to landscape, for transportation - we must take care to make sure our land use changes aren't causing runoff pollution problems for either other people or plants and animals downstream that depend on clean, usable water. The technical term for this form of pollution is

http://www.cazs.bangor.ac.uk/english/expertise/resources_e.htm

Extractions: Next Management of the biological resources of any environment is constrained by the physical resources available. The management of these resources can be controversial and in the case of water has major political implications for the 21st Century. Water is the most important natural resource on the planet and sustainable use is vital to the well-being of man and the environment. Increasing world demand for water and man's impact through pollution and in appropriate land-use is increasing the pressure on water resources. Improved methods of developing and managing water resources through application of appropriate technology, management and conservation measures are urgently needed. In CAZS, a major theme is the sustainable use of water in all environments, especially in low rainfall areas for domestic, industrial, agricultural and other purposes. The seriousness of the problem led us to develop the taught postgraduate programme in Water Resources , which aims to develop resource managers who understand the complex water issues facing mankind as we approach the next century.
