Protecting Farmland Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Says Report Greener Fields: Combating Climate Change by Keeping Land in Farming in New York is a new report from American Farmland Trust on the role that protecting farmland can have in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The report found that an acre of farmland produces 66 times fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than an acre of developed land in New York. Silvopasture Benefits Animal Welfare and Productivity A study in Virginia, reported in Temperate Agroforester, showed that silvopasture delivered equivalent weight gains in sheep while improving animal welfare. Although the silvopasture system had 30% less forage availability compared to treeless systems, lambs had equivalent weight gains. Researchers believe that greater animal comfort provided by shade contributed to the productivity of the silvopasture system.

In addition, the growing system increases yields while reducing pesticide use and improving berry quality and shelf life. Related ATTRA Publication: Brambles: Organic Production Mechanical Blossom Thinning Offers Alternative for Apple Growers A three-year study by New York apple producers, CCE educators, and Cornell researchers examined mechanical blossom thinning as an alternative to the commonly used chemical carbaryl. The trial used a Darwin string thinner to remove one-third to one-half of a tree's blossoms. The trials focused on finding optimal speeds for the Darwin spindle and for the tractor, as well as preventing the potential spread of fire blight. Related ATTRA Publication: Apples: Organic Production Guide Tennessee Research Finds Fall Calving More Profitable Researchers at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture assessed the potential trade-offs in risk and return of using a fall calving season rather than a spring season. They considered the seasonality of cattle and feed prices for least-cost feed rations. Researchers determined that in the Southeast, calving between mid-September and mid-November was most profitable. >>More Breaking News Back to top Funding Opportunities Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Food Safety Challenge Area The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is a competitive grant program that provides funding for fundamental and applied research, education, and extension projects in food and agricultural sciences.

Drought & Fire: Learn what forest landowners are doing about it

Drought & Fire

Florida is burning up: Learn what forest landowners are doing about it

 

GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 23, 2017 — Drought has been making news in Florida, fueling more than 2,100 wildfires burning 170,000 acres since the start of the year according to The Florida Forest Service.

 

And with up to a 12-inch rain deficit throughout the state and temperatures predicted to continue above normal, relief may not be in sight, even if the rainy season starts soon, according to the National Weather Service.

 

Florida’s forests are fire-dependent, and prescribed burning eliminates the woody understory that serves as ladder fuel for wildfires if left unburned. They need to be burned about every three years to maintain the proper balance and diversity of vegetation for forest health and wildlife habitat. The difference between a prescribed burn and wildfire is control.  And since Mr. Bickel has managed his forest by burning it regularly, he has reduced the risk of wildfire hazard. If an unplanned fire sweeps through his forest, it will most likely burn with less intensity and size.

 

Wildfires are expensive. It costs from $300 to $723 per acre to suppress a wildfire, said Susan Kett, prescribed fires specialist for the US Forest Service. Compare that to $15 to $50 an acre to do a prescribed burn, according to Eric Staller, natural resource coordinator at Tall Timbers Research Station.  The research station, located in Tallahassee, Fla., conducts research on fire ecology.

 

The Florida Forestry Association reports that most of Florida’s 17.3 million acres of timberland are privately owned. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides financial and technical assistance to private landowners like Mr. Bickel to manage their forests, planting fire-tolerant longleaf pine, installing firebreaks and prescribe burning though several initiatives under the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP). The Conservation Stewardship Program can help through forestry-related enhancements. Since October, 2013 to October 2016 NRCS has helped private landowners do prescribed burns on 52,947.9 acres in Florida.

 

Mr. Bickel wanted a natural forest setting when he bought the old cow pasture with fence rows in 1986. He ripped out the fences and planted longleaf pine and slash pine 11 years ago.  He found setting prescribed burns the last three years mimicked Mother Nature and eliminated invasive plants. He discovered his native longleaf pine trees held up really well in fires. Controlled burns gave life to a fresh understory of plants that provides food and shelter for wildlife.  Now Mr. Bickel has the forest he envisioned.  “I enjoy seeing wild turkey, deer, fox squirrels and gopher tortoise. And the quail are back,” he said.

 

To learn about technical and financial assistance available from NRCS, go to Getting Started with NRCS. Begin by visiting your local NRCS field office and requesting help developing a conservation plan.

NEWS & INFO BRIEF LONGLEAF PINE CONE PROSPECTS FOR 2017 AND 2018 From the U.S. Forest Service, Southern Research Station During the spring of 2017, cone production data were collected from selected low-density stands of mature longleaf pine, throughout its native range. Binocular counts of green cones and unfertilized conelets were conducted on the crowns of sampled trees, as viewed from a single location on the ground. The regional cone crop is good for 2017, at 61.9 cones per tree. As usual, there is natural variation in cone production across the region. Bumper crops (> 100 cones per tree) were observed in Escambia County, Alabama, Santa Rosa Country, Florida, Baker County, Georgia and Chattahoochee County, Georgia. See the full report here. USDA FARM SERVICE AGENCY OFFERS WILDFIRE RECOVERY ASSISTANCE USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers disaster assistance and low-interest loan programs to assist agricultural producers in their recovery efforts following wildfires or other qualifying natural disasters.
