Primary scientific resources for NRCS, organized by state. Includes practice costs, regulations, natural and cultural resource information, NRCS planning criteria, practice standards, and conservation effects.

This fact sheet covers energy efficiency, renewable energy, and nitrogen fertilizer management strategies that reduce costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate impacts.

This fact sheet outlines climate change challenges such as flooding, heat stress, and pest pressure, with practical farm adaptation strategies.

Current drought conditions and summaries for anywhere in the U.S.

This research paper presents, demonstrates and illustrates a method - adoption pathways analysis – as an approach to better represent and analyse the dynamics and diversity of adoption.

Slides from a New York focused presentation on managing flood risk for farmers, including the mechanics and effects of flood damage as well as funding and mitigation resources.

A peer reviewed research paper from 2015 on changes in crop species diversity by US region between 1978-2012.

A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) template for a farm's climate change resilience. Also includes tabs on assessing strategies, from financial to production to labor, and a resilience action plan template.

This is a living document listing resources to fund climate resilience on farms, including links to lists maintained by other organizations/agencies, grant and loan opportunities, and other resources that may be helpful for farmers.

Bar and pie-graphs representing GHG emissions by state, broken down by sector.

Regional and state-specific resources for climate adaptation and mitigation, from funding resources to production, infrastructure, nutrient management, efficiency, alternative energy, and much more.

A weekly updated resource list for farmers, focused on New England, covering federal funding and programming, disaster aid, legal resources, advocacy, farmland access, and small and urban farm support.

This calculator aids farmers with decision support regarding cover crop residue persistence, as well as the amount and timing of nitrogen availability.

Historically, annual precipitation has been sufficient to meet vegetable crop water needs in the Northeast during the growing season, but now shifting precipitation patterns create water management challenges for Northeast specialty crop growers.

Northeast Climate Hub explores how a changing climate is affecting regional crops. This is part 1: Challenges and Opportunities for NE Crop Production in a Changing Climate (presenter: David Wolfe)

Learn about small-scale manure digesters, including current research, technologies, costs, benefits, and funding opportunities through the REAP program.

A webinar on collaborative modeling approaches available to assess the impacts of climate change on critical source areas of watershed nutrient pollution (e.g., N,P,TSS), how best management practices will perform under alternative climate trends.

The emphasis of this webinar will be placed on dairy, beef, small ruminants, and horses and the impacts that extreme heat, cold snaps, weather shifts, droughts, and excessive rain will have on the animal’s health and diet.

This talk reviews research on changing precipitation, snowfall, and drought patterns in the Northeast and their climate implications in the Northeast.

Participants will become aware of the social, ecological and economic drivers and implications of certain management practices that may reduce farm-scale risks producers in the northeast face because of climate change.

Starting with basic well information, this webinar shows how shallow groundwater from glacial till aquifers can provide a high quality water supply for agricultural and domestic use.

Whole Farm Planning can help farmers set long-term goals, improve profitability and efficiency of farm operations, build community relationships, protect the environment, and support farm family well-being.

A visualization tool showing community impacts of coastal flooding and sea level rise, including vulnerability, wetland loss, and flood frequency.

Participants will learn how carbon is sequestered in agricultural soils and how agriculture can contribute to climate change mitigation and reach GHG reduction goals.
