Carrie Mosley State Conservationist Climate Change & NRCS Carrie Mosley State Conservationist

Climate helped form the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil… or rather the loss of soil is what formed the SCS and the Conservation Districts

Climate Change & NRCS Priority for USDA Polarizing Subject Natural Fit for NRCS – Resiliency USDA Climate Hubs Polarizing Subject Farmers – short term weather June 2013 President’s Climate Action Plan USDA has established seven regional hubs for risk adaptation and mitigation to climate change. These Hubs will deliver science-based knowledge and practical information to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners on a regional basis to support decision-making related to climate change.

Climate

Currently at NRCS Promote resiliency with NJ farmers Write Conservation Plans $10,000,000 for conservation Soil Health Focus Group Plant Materials Center in Cape May Landscape Initiatives (Delaware watershed) Conservation Practice standards COMET-FARM USDA also released a Carbon Management Evaluation Tool (COMET-FARM) to help producers calculate how much carbon their land's soil and vegetation can remove from the atmosphere.

Cover Crops For Soil Health A lot of focus since 1936 had been on soil erosion…. Dust bowl, conservation compliance in 1985,…. Now what is exciting is the re-focus or emphasis on soil health. What is soil health?

Innovation Needs Assistance promoting soil health and innovation; Soil health systems for intensive cropping systems; Cover between row options for clean culture crops; Economic evaluation; and Regional strategies
