Planning, Adaptation Practices
When considering soil health practices for row crop farmers it's essentially to understand how each practice can alter the farm's bottom line. This decision making tool helps corn and soy producers simulate the financial impacts of adopting different soil health practices.
Adaptation Practices
Soil Health Indicators and Tests discusses different methods of soil health assessment and provides an overview of soil biology.
Adaptation Practices
This article covers the history context and development of the concept of soil health within soil science. It is part of a larger collection called "Soil and Water Conservation" which includes in-depth chapters on conservation science.
Adaptation Practices, Planning
A fact sheet on the use of soil moisture sensors on farms. Includes grower experiences, sensor types, installation, and interpretation of the readings.
Adaptation Practices
A virtual tour of Penn State research on double-cropping and other climate-adaptive practices for sustainable dairy farming.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
Diversifying into forest products is a good strategy to spread out climate related risk for any farm, but it's not without it's own challenges and strategies that need to be understood. This guide is a great starting point for any farm business considering farming the woods.
Adaptation Practices
This fact sheet explains how tile drainage can improve yields, outlining design, efficiency, and return-on-investment considerations.
Adaptation Practices
An hour-long webinar about the various invasive species growers might come into contact with in the face of climate change as well as how to deal with them in the most efficient manner.
Adaptation Practices
Publications, tipsheets, and videos to help farmers use cover crops, green manures, and alternative soil amendments to reduce synethetic inputs and increased self-reliance.
Adaptation Practices
Three fact sheets covering soil moisture monitoring, irrigation systems, and optimizing water use on diversified vegetable farms.
Adaptation Practices
As the climate continues to change, food security will likely remain an issue. Urban food hubs like the East Capitol Urban Farm can help mitigate the effects of warming temperatures and precipitation extremes.
Adaptation Practices
Highlights research and variety trials at UMaine’s Highmoor Farm, exploring new opportunities and risks from longer growing seasons.
Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
University of Rhode Island is conducting research and outreach on high tunnel production and summer cover crops to help farmers tackle both the risks and opportunities posed by climate change.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
IPM pest and disease modeling and forecasting. Includes pest-specific data and other factors such as growing-degree days.
Adaptation Practices
This article discusses how cover crops have the potential to boost key aspects of the soil microbiome typically associated with healthy soils.
Adaptation Practices
Visit the University of Vermont research happening on working dairy farms to see how management practices can affect water quality, economics, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The CSF Water Deficit Calculator estimates soil water content in the root zone to inform decision making about current and forecasted water deficits.
Adaptation Practices
A short fact sheet summarizing how changing climate impacts dairy operations, and what can dairy farmers do to adapt.
Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
This hour-long free webinar is about the impacts of climate change on maple syrup production and how maple producers can best adapt.
Adaptation Practices
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.
Adaptation Practices
This beautiful case study profiles Deanne Boyer and Willow Run Farmstead LLC, located in Berks Co. Pennsylvania. The resource details the climate risks faced by Willow Run, and how Deanne has skillfully addressed them through agroforestry practices.
