The project will develop a web-based nutrient management planner to replace the original OnePlan NMP. Updated functionality (web-based framework) has already been designed and completed for other components of OnePlan (web-based framework). However, the development of a web-based mapping platform will be completed as part of this project, and will also benefit the conservation planning and IPM components of OnePlan. The resulting interactive web-based format for nutrient management will allow the producer and planner to more easily address the site-specific complexity of AFP/CAFP operations.

Technologies have been identified to lessen environmental impacts from manure management. Laboratory and site testing of manure has shown it to be a viable candidate for treatment using Electro Coagulation. This system has been designed to remove 90+% of total solids including dissolved solids and 90+% total phosphorous. The project will demonstrate the system with participating producer(s).

Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) is an approach to invasive species management that focuses on surveying and monitoring at-risk areas to find infestations at their earliest stages of invasion. Along with prevention, this method is the most successful, cost effective, and least environmentally damaging means of control. This cooperative project utilizes EDRR in identified areas of southern Idaho to address management of squarrose knapweed.

The project utilizes invasive species inventory maps developed using multispectral (Landsat, Quickbird) and hyperspectral (HyMap, CASI, AISA) remotely sensed imagery, in conjunction with field-based (GPS) data. The mapping tools will be used to help Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMAs) and participating producers locate and manage invasive species.

The project will be used to demonstrate the benefits of keeping nutrients in the soil by using cover crops. Five producers will develop & implement cover crop seeding plans using eight different species of seed on approximately 150 acres. At least one tour will be conducted & soil tests will be run before planting & after the cover crops have been in to demonstrate microbial activity.

The purpose of this project is to educate our landowners to the use of direct seed farming, to the use of cover crops and provide access to equipment and seed to implement these practices. This will allow producers to grow crops without disturbing the soil, increase the amount of water and organic matter in the soil, decrease erosion, control weeds and increase nutrients in the soil by using legumes or by using plants with long roots to pull mobile nutrients back up to the surface from lower layers of the soil. This project will help to educate landowners on the benefits that direct seed practices and cover crops have on soil health.

Project will assist producers in assessing, designing & implementing habitat on their farms to enhance pollinators & beneficial insects. The project will also include conducting educational outreach to producers across southern Idaho & on-farm demonstrations will be conducted in the Treasure and Magic Valley areas.
