1999 STEEP III Progress ReportRESEARCH PROJECT TITLE: PNW STEEP III Extension -- Integrated Cropping Systems Technology Transfer INVESTIGATORS: DPNW STEEP
III Extension Cropping Systems Specialists Team
Cooperators:
INTERIM REPORT: November 1998 - November 1999 OBJECTIVES: Increase grower awareness and adaptation of STEEP III and related research technologies as integrated components of conservation tillage systems through continuation and expansion of technology transfer efforts including:
KEY WORDS: Integrated cropping systems technology STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Lack of access to
new research technologies by PNW growers and agricultural support personnel
limits the success and slows the adaptation and adoption of conservation
tillage systems in the region. AGRONOMIC ZONE OF INTEREST: All Pacific Northwest cropland agronomic zones can benefit from this technology transfer program on conservation tillage systems, particularly those agronomic zones targeted in STEEP III research projects. ABSTRACT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: A variety of technology
transfer programs and products have been included in this STEEP III project
from Nov. 1998 to Nov. 1999. Three issues of the PNW STEEP III Extension
Conservation Tillage Update newsletters were completed and a fourth is
in progress, with a mailing list of about 2,800. Six PNW Conservation
Tillage Handbook Series publication (distributed through the Update issues)
were added to the Handbook. Over 70 other publications and 40 presentation
(with a total audience of 3420) by Team members also focused on new technologies
from STEEP III and related programs. The Internet Web site -- PNW STEEP
Conservation Tillage Systems Technology Source (http://pnwsteep.wsu.edu)
has been updated with the new Handbook Series publications, Update issues,
1999 and 2000 NW Direct Seed Conference information, and numerous other
resources. The January 5-7, 1999 Northwest Direct Seed Cropping Systems
Conference and Trade Show in Spokane, WA was attended by over 940 growers
and Ag support personnel. A detailed Proceedings was distributed at the
Conference and added to the Web site. Videos from the Conference have
also expanded grower access to new technologies. The 2000 Northwest Direct
Seed Cropping Systems Conference and Trade Show is scheduled for Jan.
4-6 in Pendleton, OR. Over ten field days and tours highlighted direct
seeding and/or more intensive cropping and crop options with a total attendance
of more than 1640. A new PNW Direct Seed E-mail List Server was established
in October 1999 with an initial base network of 230 Ag support personnel
and growers. RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION: Specialists on the
PNW STEEP III Extension Cropping Systems Team worked with STEEP III and
related program researchers, other extension specialist and educators,
and Ag support personnel to summarize new "state-of-the-art"
conservation tillage management technologies from an integrated cropping
systems approach. Access to this information is assisting growers in:
a) fitting new technologies to agriclimatic areas; b) incorporating the
technologies into their farming systems; and c) addressing interactions
of the technologies with other management components in the systems. The
following is a description of the project accomplishments by technology
transfer methods during this project period: The current Update
mailing list is over 2,800, including primarily PNW producers (about 1,960),
county extension agents, conservation districts, NRCS staff, and Ag service
industry, Ag media and other support personnel. The Update provides a
conservation tillage systems information resource for local Extension
and Conservation District newsletters and education programs, and for
the Ag media. The STEEP Internet
Web site currently averages over 400 hits per day and provides access
to conservation tillage systems technology developed through STEEP and
related NW research programs. The entire PNW Conservation Tillage Handbook
Series has been put on the Web site, including the six new Handbook Series
distributed in the May 1999 Update issue. There is a new section on the
NW Direct Seed Cropping Systems Conferences (see # 4 below) where you
can choose between the 1998, 1999 and 2000 Conferences. Each conference
page has a direct access Web site URL address extension (/conf98, /conf99,
and /conf2k, respectively) that are utilized in publicizing the conferences
and providing access later to the proceedings and conference video information.
In advance of the conferences, the conference pages include: 1) conference
overview; 2) conference agenda; 3) trade show / sponsorship prospectus;
4) registration form; and 5) hotel information. Beginning with the 1999
Conference, the trade show / sponsorship prospectus and conference registration
forms have included template that can be completed online, printed and
mailed, or submitted directly via e-mail. The 1998 STEEP III
Research Progress Reports was added to the Web site in December 1998 to
provide access to descriptions of STEEP III projects and progress. The
1999 Reports will be added beginning December 1999. Three of the annual
PNW STEEP II On-farm Test Results publications and other information resources
and links have also been added to a new On-Farm Testing section. A search engine was
added in March 1999, allowing extensive key-word searches of the entire
Web site. Links have been established to a number of other PNW Web sites
and efforts will expand to other useful sites on conservation cropping
systems in the Great Plains, Canada and other locations. A Coming Events
calender is also maintained for PNW and applicable North American events. A new "threaded
discussion" page titled "PNW Direct Seed Systems Forum"
is currently being developed as a new feature of the Web site and will
hopefully be underway by December 1999. It will facilitate more in-depth
discussions on direct seeding and more intensive cropping systems and
technologies among growers and Ag support personnel. This format will
allow participants to follow and participate in progressive discussions
starting at the original messages and continuing with successive responses.
There were 7 in-depth
Focus Sessions 2-3 hours in length on a variety of topics including:
Direct Seed Systems
Trade Show - At the request of growers and Ag industry in the evaluation
of the 1998 Conference, a new commercial Trade Show was added as a special
feature of the 1999 Conference to provided growers, Ag industry and researchers
more opportunities to discuss technology needs and share new innovations.
It featured 27 commercial exhibits of equipment, products and services
related to direct seed cropping systems. Research Poster Exhibition
- As part of the Direct Seed Systems Trade Show, a Research Poster Exhibition
featured nine posters on research related to direct seed cropping systems
from the Northwest and Canada. Conference Proceedings
-- The 225-page Proceedings provides a detailed summary of the 37 speaker
presentations. The entire Proceedings can be accessed on the Conference
Internet site (http://pnwsteep.wsu.edu/conf99). Print copies are also
available for $10 (including mailing) payable to NW Direct Seed Conference,
P.O. 2002, Pasco, WA 99320, phone 547-5538, FAX 509-547-5563 or e-mail
(maurer@owt.com). Over 50 Proceedings have been sold since the Conference. Digital-Quality Videos
- The seven Focus Sessions, ranging from 1 hour to 6 hours, were videotaped
with a high-quality digital camera. The videos were produced by Darrell
Kilgore and Drexel Rhodes with the WSU College of Agriculture Information
Dept. Video Unit. A series of 10 videotapes were available on loan (in
the Pacific Northwest) and for sale at $15 each within two weeks after
the Conference. A detailed description of topics and speakers included
on each video and video order forms are available on the Internet site,
or contact the Cooperative Extension Office, Crop and Soil Sciences Dept.,
P.O. Box 646420, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-6420,
phone 509-335-2915, FAX 335-1758, or email (rveseth@uidaho.edu). There
have been 10 video loans and 30 purchases. Evaluations - 100%
of the Conference evaluation respondents felt that the Conference will
help increase the adaptation and success of direct seed cropping systems
in the Northwest, and 99% indicated that they would attend a similar Conference
in 2000. Post-Conference Publicity
- Following the Conference, the availability of the Proceedings and videos
were promoted through the PNW Ag media and over 12 national / international
publications and Internet Web sites. The Conference program
will begin at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday January 4 and adjourn at noon Thursday
January 6. Four half-day Focus Session include: 1) Residue Management;
2) Economics; 3) Pest Management; and 4) Drills and Equipment. Tentative
speakers include growers, researchers, and industry representatives from
across the Northwest, Mid-West U.S., Canada, and Australia. Conference Internet
Web site - The direct-access Web site for the Conference (http://pnwsteep.wsu.edu/conf2k)
will continually be updated with information about the Conference program,
Sponsorship / Trade Show, registration, motels, proceedings, and so on.

prospectus or other Conference information contact the NW Direct Seed
Conference office at 509-547-5538, FAX 547-5563, E-mail (maurer@owt.com).
6) PNW Direct
Seed Systems List Server (new objective in October 1999) - A new PNW
e-mail / Internet list server on direct seed cropping systems was initiated
in October 1999. It offers an exciting communications link on new information
resources, events, research results, technology innovations and experiences
from the dryland production regions of the Inland Northwest. It will also
help provide access to direct seed systems technology that may be adapted
to Northwest production conditions from other regions and countries. Messages
will be received by e-mail and also stored on the list server Internet
site for later access by those added to the list over time. The initial address
list includes about 230 university and USDA-ARS researchers, extension
specialists, county/area Ag extension educators, conservation districts,
USDA-NRCS staff, PNW grower organizations, Ag industries representatives
and a small number of growers from across the dryland cropping areas of
the Inland Northwest. From this initial base network, the list server
will expand to interested growers and other Ag support personnel across
the region. In addition to being part of the STEEP technology access effort,
the list serve is also facilitated as part of a new STEEP project on building
a "Northwest Coalition on Direct Seed Cropping Systems Research." To subscribe to the
list server, send an e-mail message to Roger Veseth <rveseth@uidaho.edu>
with the state (e.g. ID for Idaho), organization / occupation, name and
e-mail address of the person(s) to be subscribed. Two examples are: ID
grower - John Doe <e-mail address>; OR AgChem Co - Mary Smith <e-mail
address>. Note that for your e-mail privacy, the list server member
is not accessible to anyone except the list server administrator. All interested growers and Ag support personnel are encouraged to participate in this new list server. A stronger communication network and partnership among growers, researchers, Ag-support groups and agencies, and Ag industry will greatly accelerate the successful development and grower adaptation of direct seed systems in the region. EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
The Project should have four outcomes or impacts:
INTERACTION (COOPERATION) WITH OTHER SCIENTISTS CONDUCTING RELATED ACTIVITY: A primary focus of this project is to collaborate with scientists on STEEP III and related projects to integrate new technology on conservation tillage systems into effective educational programs and materials for Northwest growers and Ag support personnel. Most of the Team specialist are also investigators on other STEEP III and related projects. PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS: (on conservation tillage systems technologies) Pacific Northwest
