2013
In this grazing project producers frequently changed pasture management practices to obtain the best strategies for a given situation. The effect on soil health and adaptation to climate change was monitored.

2013
Increase Public awareness of negative ecological impacts of traditional round culverts and increase the capacity to address the issue at a landscape scale.
Piedmont Environmental Council of Virginia
|
VA
|
2013
This award is for Piedmont Environmental Council to demonstrate the effects of pasture diversity and grazing with multiple livestock species on soil environment, soil health, drought resistance, animal productivity and financial returns when these are combined with grazing Best Management Practices, specifically long rest periods. Piedmont Environmental Council will demonstrate the effects of mob grazing multiple livestock species with innovative pasture management practices on soil health and system productivity. This CIG project will provide key support for Virginia's Soil Health Initiative through education and outreach.

Demonstrate the use of a manure additive that helps release hydrogen sulfide compounds over time reducing the chance for big bursts during agitation that can pose a health hazard.

2013
This award is for CSWCD to utilize harvest data collected by crop producers to: evaluate and quantify the loss of yield along field edges in summer and winter grain crops, evaluate and quantify how far the edge of field effect reaches into the field, and characterize the type of edge which leads to the most significant yield loss. Three harvest zones will be established in each field (25 corn fields and 25 wheat fields) extending inward from the field's edge. CSWCD will analyze harvest data within each harvest zone to determine a yield average for the entire zone. In addition, characteristics of the edge including aspect, type and density of vegetation will be documented and analyzed resulting in a per acre yield for each characteristic. Reductions in future nutrient applications along the field's edge is one potential outcome.
Colorado Livestock Association

2013
The purpose of the proposed project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a pilot-scale meteorological “warning system" to inform livestock producers of days in which ammonia emissions are likely to be transported to RMNP so that producers can implement previously demonstrated conservation practices during critical days for ammonia volatilization and transport towards RMNP. The "warning system" will then be scaled for fully-functional, regional implementation.
