Use 3 farms across the state to demonstrate how to maximize nutrient usage across the farm using corn yield monitoring information in conjunction with farm nutirent mass balances and soil tests. From this planning and decision tools will be developed to aid other farms in utilizing the process. Outreach to share results.

An estimated 200,000 sage-grouse inhabit more than 56 million acres across eleven states in North America. NRCS' sage-grouse Initiative works to protect the sage-grouse and its habitat. One of the components of the Initiative is improving outreach to area landowners about sagegrouse and educating them on the steps they can take to help maintain a healthy grouse population. Overall education and outreach are also goals of the Initiative, because the use of the species habitat for land and energy development is creating a more scarce population of sagegrouse. AE, a company based in Missoula, Montana, was established in 2007. Its mission is to build the classroom of the future, focused around wildlife and biological education. As a part of fulfilling this mission, AE has designed a solar trailer that has the ability to be located almost anywhere, with video monitoring equipment, including videoconferencing. The monitoring equipment has the ability to record and transmit video live to a pre-established website.

2011
Conduct in cooperation with Cloverfield Enterprises in Essex County, VA a series of field-scale demonstration and evaluation plots comparing variable rate (i.e., multiple rates within one field) injection sidedress N fertilizer application to corn to traditional “flat rate” (i.e., one rate across the field) injection application. The primary technology to be evaluated will vary application rates according to GPS-delineated zones with boundaries defined by soil type and/or yield history. Side-by-side variable rate vs. flat rate comparisons will be made on a total of at least six different demonstration plots with minimum size 25 acres during the life of the project. A minimum of two of these plots will also integrate a third comparison – variable rate N application based on the GreenSeeker™ sensor system.
