ISAP’s mission is to create a network to support a systems approach to improve Illinois soil health and reduce nutrient loss.
“In this time of uncertainty in the farm economy and broader world, we think it’s critical to shed a light on management decisions that can bolster farm resilience while also contributing to Illinois water quality goals,” notes Jill Kostel, Senior Environmental Engineer & Project Manager for The Wetlands Initiative, and chair of ISAP. “This webinar series is an exciting opportunity to highlight growers and industry partners who include land management decisions as a critical tool in their risk management toolbox.”
Eric mentions, “Weather risk in production agriculture is ubiquitous. Understanding how this risk is changing due to observed and predicted shifts in our climate is key to successful, resilient farming in the 21st century.”
The second webinar will showcase how soil health management systems improve working capital. LaSalle County farmer Carl Zimmerman will share his perspective, and his budget sheets! The third and final webinar will feature Jonathan Coppess, exploring how companies across the ag supply chain are responding to consumer and market demand for sustainably produced products.
The Risk Management Webinar series aims to increase the knowledge of farmers, landowners, and advisors, bringing the agriculture industry together to highlight how conservation practices bridge the gaps and build resiliency for Illinois farms.
