Accomplishments

Accomplishments By Objective Objective #1: Develop and/or improve nutrient recommendations for diverse cropping systems based on soil, water, and plant analysis results and management strategies in the Western Region. Peer-reviewed book chapters, journal, and extension articles were published by members of the group with 100s of presentations at various professional and grower meetings. Additionally, a range of online material and user-friendly calculators have been developed. These examples  Objective #2: Promote effective use of soil, water, plant, manure and compost analytical information. Expansion of the multi-state Agricultural Laboratory Proficiency Program and the growing Manure and Compost Analysis Proficiency programs (Robert Miller, CSU) North American Proficiency Testing (NAPT) Program (with the Soil Science Society of America) continues to be coordinated, supported and utilized by members of WERA-103 with Bryan Hopkins as the program lead. Objective #3: Provide education on the principles of soil-plant-animal-water system management and the tools and practices that lead to sustainable agricultural production WERA-103 members have provided many presentations and talks for both agriculture producers, industry personnel, and other researchers. Below are some examples of their outreach. Articles were published in Crop and Soil Magazine with a circulation of ~15,000 A wide-range of online tools developed by UC-Davis, Oregon State University,  and other institutions.

Brief Summary of Minutes

Executive Summary

Attendees: Alan Blaylock (Nutrien), Chris Rogers (USDA-ARS), Matt Yost (Utah State University), Ken Greer (Western Ag) , Sarah Philpot (Western Ag), Erik Wardle (Colorado State University), Amber Moore (Oregon State University), Jared Spackman (University of Idaho), and Bryan Hopkins (Brigham Young University), Charles Sanchez (University of Arizona), Brett Hess (University of Nevada).

WERA103 Charter Discussion: Alan read and discussed the charter and asked for any discussion on modifications. No modifications mentioned or approved. The current charter runs from 10/2020 – 9/2025.

WNMC Updates (Jared Spackman):

Current 2023 Meeting:

Registration & Attendance: There was a total of about 60 registered attendees (18 were students and rest full registrations). Total costs for the meeting were about $17,000. Expenses are about $30,000. There is a deficit of $13,000. We have about $20,000 in our current budget so should be able to cover the deficit. Most registrants from California (14), followed by Idaho, Utah, and Oregon (8-10 each). Historic attendance has been near or over 100 since moving to Reno.

Future WNMC:

Discussed ideas to improve attendance and future meetings.

Consider a program chair that serves for many conferences to improve continuity.

Consider moving the location to California or elsewhere to increase attendance from them.

Consider Quentin Rund Scholarship for Students.

Re-evaluate CCA credit offering and competition and virtual or hybrid program offerings.

Have a representative from each state be on a core conference planning committee that is more actively involved.

NIFA Report (Brett Hess):

Federal NIFA 2024 request for additional 10-30% funding increased in most categories (Hatch, Evans Allen, Smith-Lever, 1890 Extension, and McIntire Stennis). AFRI budget requesting no increase due to recent large gains. Asking for double ($23M to $53M) in the 1994 Research/Extension/Education request. Multistate Research Fund – they have hired an impact-writer to summarize all the impacts from the multi-state projects. Focus on what would not be accomplished if the project did not exist.

TFI Meeting Host Discussion (Alan Blaylock):

TFI is not willing to be the administrative backer of our conference going forward. We need to find another “host” organization. TFI’s view is that the meetings are theirs and the funds are theirs – despite mutual agreements with IPNI in the past. The remaining funds after the 2023 meeting are about $5-6K.

Options being considered for moving forward

Join with TFI for national conference or remain independent

Remain independent and continue to hold WNMC. *If this is selected, need volunteers to help secure host institution (western directors/university/other), raise funds as collateral, and help make all other arrangements.

Remain independent and join with Great Plains Conference (pending their decision on whether to join with TFI)

NAPT report (Bryan Hopkins):

John Spargo is the new chair. Losing some labs but still have about 150 labs participating. Adding new soil health metrics. Working with NRCS to pin down six new tests – ace protein, 1-day respiration, 2-day respiration, and three others. Few and low numbers of participating labs (less than 6) so data analysis is limited. Some new labs focused only on carbon measurements.

Crops and Soils Magazine (Chris Rogers):

Alan, as past chair, is responsible for arranging articles for 2023. Assignments were made for 2023.

FRST updates and projects (Matt Yost):

Many in WERA-103 are involved with FRST efforts. Key reminders and updates were shared.

State Reports (Chris Rogers):

Discussion about the importance of a standard format for the state report. Need to have report compiled before the annual meeting so we can review prior to meeting. Each state provide report.

Objective Discussion:

Discussed accomplishments and new tasks for each objective.

2024 Committee Meeting (Alan Blaylock):

Need a host state. Previous meetings have been in Utah, Hawaii, Colorado, New Mexico (2), Arizona, California. Possible dates are week of 18^th of March. Suggestions were California and Colorado as candidates.

2024 Officers (Alan Blaylock):

Possibly approach Dan Geisler (CA), Linda Schott (ID), Gabe LaHue (WA), Jared Williams (ID), Ray Qin (OR)

Accomplishments

Objective #1: Develop and/or improve nutrient recommendations for diverse cropping systems based on soil, water, and plant analysis results and management strategies in the Western Region. Peer-reviewed book chapters, journal, and extension articles were published by members of the group with 100s of presentations at various professional and grower meetings. Additionally, a range of online material and user-friendly calculators have been developed. Increasing acidification of western soils is reducing crop yields and multi-state update of lime recommendations in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and Washington. A white paper on this is available. Has produced a better understanding of lime calibrations and needs. Idaho/Utah Barley Production Guide in the process of being updated. Idaho - Sugarbeet yield has increased but nitrogen requirements have not and Tarkalson has updated nitrogen recommendations for sugarbeet and presented to Amalgamated Sugar. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Wisconsin are conducting nutrient management work in alfalfa and creating new fertilizer recommendations for alfalfa. Colorado building on Utah/Idaho work from WERA-103 conversations to conduct alfalfa N credit work. Industry-sponsored research at several universities developed through collaborations and trust built through WERA-103 coordination. Example is Nutrien sponsoring nutrient trials on 4R practices of various products at about $50,000 in funding for WERA-103 members. Idaho (Spackman) research on mustard that will help improve recommendations in Utah and Montana as well. California (Geisler): Two tools (nitrogen calculator for processing tomatoes and N min. from organic amendments) that improve estimates of organic nutrient utilization. http://geisseler.ucdavis.edu/Online_Tools.html     Objective #2: Promote effective use of soil, water, plant, manure and compost analytical information. Expansion of the multi-state Agricultural Laboratory Proficiency Program and the growing Manure and Compost Analysis Proficiency programs (Robert Miller, CSU) North American Proficiency Testing (NAPT) Program (with the Soil Science Society of America) continues to be coordinated, supported and utilized by members of WERA-103 with Bryan Hopkins as the program lead. Repurposing nutrients: Several ongoing efforts on capturing, repurposing, and recycling nutrients from byproducts, wastes, etc.  Ken Greer and Bryan evaluating re-purposing tires. Each tire about 2% Zn that could be turned into 8% Zn product. There are about 3 billion tires sold globally every year with little re-purposing. Environmental Quality: Greenhouse gas emissions work by USDA-ARS in Idaho (Rob Dungan). Heavy metal work in Colorado (Jim Ippolito). Soil Health: IN-RICHES and W1196 development (Jay Norton, Matt Yost, Grant Cardon, Jim Ippolito) to focus on soil health advancement in the eastern part of the western region. Soil Health Institute collaborated with several Western states to collect soils data from long-term trials that resulted in several manuscripts. National study on soil health of turf in stadiums in several parts of the west and the nation. Nitro alfalfa as an organic N source for small grains (Spackman). Objective #3: Provide education on the principles of soil-plant-animal-water system management and the tools and practices that lead to sustainable agricultural production WERA-103 members have provided many presentations and talks for both agriculture producers, industry personnel, and other researchers. Articles were published in Crop and Soil Magazine with a circulation of ~15,000 A wide-range of online tools developed by UC-Davis, Oregon State University,  and other institutions. Western Nutrient Management Conference Virtual Regional Crop School – hosted by USU and participation from several states Re-calibrating buffer pH methods: http://geisseler.ucdavis.edu/Guidelines/Home.html
