SUMMARY:U of MN Strip-Till Expo-Lamberton
DESCRIPTION:Are you or farmers you work with looking for ways to reduce input costs while maintaining yield and improving resilience?. \nResearch and on-farm experience has shown that strip tillage can result in economic\, environmental\, and soil health benefits. Strip tillage can reduce soil loss by approximately two tons per acre while maintaining or improving profitability compared to conventional systems. Fewer field passes also mean lower fuel use\, reduced labor\, and less equipment wear. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026\, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton\, MN to hear from experienced strip-tillage farmers and University of MN researchers about this conservation tillage system. Attendees will also be able to compare multiple systems in side-by-side demonstrations in the same field and under the same conditions. The event is free to attend\, thanks to sponsor support\, but pre-registration is requested to assist with meal planning. For more information and to register\, visit: z.umn.edu/Stexpo. \n  \nFor more news from U of M Extension\, visit www.extension.umn.edu/news or contact Extension Communications at extnews@umn.edu. University of Minnesota Extension is an equal opportunity educator and employer.

SUMMARY:U of MN Drive & Thrive: Confidence with Tractors\, Trucks & Trailers-Owatonna and Crookston
DESCRIPTION:Drive & Thrive: Confidence with Tractors\, Trucks & Trailers\nUniversity of Minnesota Extension will offer Drive & Thrive: Confidence with Tractors\, Trucks & Trailers\, a hands-on educational program designed to build confidence and strengthen machinery operation skills among beginning and interested operators across Minnesota. \n\nThis is a low-stress opportunity for learners to get behind the wheel of a tractor and a pick-up and learn how to drive forward and in reverse with trailers and implements\, along with overviews of safety features and the maintenance of vehicles. \n\nThe 2026 Drive & Thrive workshops will be held July 18 at the Steele County Community Center in Owatonna\, MN and on July 27 from 2:00 to 6:45 p.m. at the Northwest Research and Outreach Center in Crookston\, with a potential second Crookston session added on July 28 based on demand. The training features 1:1 hands-on driving instruction in a pick-up truck with a trailer and a tractor with an implement. Participants will gain experience in areas such as safely connecting and disconnecting equipment\, driving in reverse with an attached implement or trailer\, understanding tractor controls\, recognizing hazards\, using new technologies\, and applying practical farm safety practices. \n\nDuring the individual one-to-one sessions\, the rest of the participants will complete group activities focused on farm safety and risk management\, along with first aid basics. The fee to attend is $35 per participant and a meal is provided. Registration is limited. 18+ age limit. Register online at z.umn.edu/WAGN. \n\n“Farm machinery and implements can feel intimidating\, especially for those who are newer to operating equipment\,” said Ryan Lermon\, Extension educator. “Drive & Thrive provides a supportive\, low‑pressure environment where participants can learn\, practice\, ask questions\, and ultimately feel safer and more confident on their farm.” \n\nThis program is open to people of any experience level and is sponsored by Compeer Financial. \n\nMore information about farm safety and Extension programs can be found at www.extension.umn.edu.

SUMMARY:Keeping the farm in ‘solar farm’: Agrivoltaic logistics
DESCRIPTION:Keeping the farm in ‘solar farm’: Agrivoltaic logistics \nMINNESOTA. (6/8/2026)— Solar energy sites popping up across rural landscapes are raising concerns about taking agricultural land out of production. With foresight and creativity solar sites can be developed to prioritize agriculture production also known as Agrivoltaics. However\, building an agrivoltaic site is more than just raising the height of the solar panels. It’s a logistical puzzle involving specialized site prep\, complex operations management\, and long-term land stewardship. \nJoin the University of Minnesota Extension for the July session of the Agrivoltaics webinar series\, titled “Keeping the farm in ‘solar farm’: Agrivoltaic logistics.” The webinar will take place on July 14th\, 2026\, at 7pm CT. \nThis discussion brings together experts in agriculture centric solar development. \n· Angela Burke is the director of Operations and Management at Pivot Energy. In her role Burke supports Pivot’s asset managers and leads their land stewardship initiatives and standards. Pivot has extensive experience working with solar grazers. \n· Mike DellaGala is the co-founder and CEO of Solar Collective. Solar collective develops solar energy projects with an Agrivoltaics first approach. Their goal is to help farmers continue farming. \nThese professionals with varied approaches will discuss agrivoltaics from a solar developer’s perspective. This webinar moves beyond the “why” and dives deep into the “how” of designing\, permitting\, and operating projects where solar and soil work in tandem. \nThis webinar is designed for farmers\, solar developers\, landowners\, government officials and agricultural professionals interested in the future of dual-use land management. Whether you’re a rancher looking to diversify income or a developer aiming to integrate agriculture production\, this session will provide the insights you need. \nPre- registration is required to access the zoom link. Free to attend. Date: July 14\, 2026\, 7pm CT Register: z.umn.edu/farminsolarfarm View past agrivoltaics webinars: z.umn.edu/avwebinarsplaylist \nFor more news from U of M Extension\, visit www.extension.umn.edu/news or contact Extension Communications at extnews@umn.edu.

SUMMARY:Cattle and kilowatts webinar: Real-world solar grazing in practice
DESCRIPTION:Cattle and kilowatts webinar: Real-world solar grazing in practice \nPre- registration is required to access the zoom link. Free to attend. Date: April 14th\, 2026\, 5pm CT Register: z.umn.edu/cattlekilowatts \nAs solar energy expands across the landscape\, a new frontier in Agrivoltaics known as “cattlevoltaics” is emerging. While sheep have long been the standard for solar site maintenance\, innovative producers are proving that cattle can thrive under panels too. \nJoin the University of Minnesota Extension for an in-depth webinar featuring pioneers of cattle solar grazing. This session moves beyond theory and into the pasture\, focusing on the practical management\, infrastructure\, and animal welfare considerations of running cattle on solar sites. \nGuest speakers represent the leading edge of agrivoltaics in the U.S. They will share their “boots-on-the-ground” experiences\, including: \n· Infrastructure & Design: How to adapt solar arrays to withstand 1\,200-lb animals and allow for proper animal handling. \n· Animal Health: Managing shade\, health observations\, and water access within an energy facility. \n· Economic Opportunities: Understanding the “double-crop” potential of energy and beef. \n· Forage and soil management: How to effectively construct and manage solar sites for optimal forage production and soil health. \nFeatured Speakers \nWill Harris & Dale Caldwell (White Oak Pastures): Leaders in regenerative agriculture who have integrated solar grazing into their world-renowned multi-species operation in Bluffton\, Georgia. \nJosh Bennett (HUWA Enterprises): An agrimation expert at the forefront of “cattle-ready” solar design\, helping ranchers across the country prove that large-scale cattle grazing and utility solar are not only compatible but synergistic. \nThis webinar is designed for cattle producers\, solar developers\, landowners\, and agricultural professionals interested in the future of dual-use land management. Whether you’re a rancher looking to diversify income or a developer aiming to reduce vegetation management costs\, this session will provide the insights you need. \nPre- registration is required to access the zoom link. Free to attend. Date: April 14th\, 2026\, 5pm CT Register: z.umn.edu/cattlekilowatts \nView past agrivoltaics webinars: z.umn.edu/avwebinarsplaylist For more news from U of M Extension\, visit www.extension.umn.edu/news or contact Extension Communications at extnews@umn.edu.
