We want to hear from you - Statewide Extension Survey
As technology continues to evolve, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is launching a statewide survey that will help us deliver the research-based education and resources you want, in ways that fit you best. And as a friend of extension, your voice is an important one. 

Your responses will tell us about the technology you prefer, the topics you want to learn more about, and the issues that are important to you. What we learn will help us improve on the way Iowans access, receive, and engage with extension education. Please take a few minutes and complete the survey at extension.iastate.edu/survey, and share with others - those we know and those we may not have reached yet. Surveys should be completed by March 2023.Thank you!

Carbon Science Resources
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach recently published the fact sheet, Measuring Soil Organic Carbon: A Crucial Iowa Resource (it's a free download). Additional information, links to publications and a summary of the Carbon SequestrationTask Force Report can be found in this news release

Private Pesticide Applicator Continuing Instruction Courses (P-CIC) will start in December. Here is a link to my meetings. If you are a currently certified private pesticide applicator you mostly likely have received or will be receiving a brochure regarding dates and locations in the next couple of weeks. Be sure to follow all instructions in the brochure as many counties require preregistration to attend your P-CIC.  Registration in advance helps us to complete your paperwork and will reduce delays upon arrival.  



December 13.  An Introductory RUSLE2 and Iowa P-Index workshop will be offered in Altoona.  This course teaches you how to use the two required software programs that are used in manure and nutrient management planning in Iowa.  Please visit link for registration information and computer requirements. 

December 13 and 14. Registration is now open for the Agricultural Chemical Dealer Updates.  These two meetings offer CCA credits, commercial pesticide applicator continuing instruction credit (for 2022) and provide a great way to keep up to date on the latest research as we head into the 2023 growing season. Interactive demos and hands-on learning will keep you engaged! Click here to directly access registration information.
