Every month, WSU Extension experts publish new knowledge that helps agricultural producers, scientists, and communities solve challenges and use better practices.
Available for free online at the Extension Publications bookstore, the latest guides include:
- Understanding and Measuring Organic Matter in Soil (EM118E), a guide that helps farmers learn about emerging methods to measure components of healthy soil.
- Balancing Fidelity & Adaptation: A Best Practices Guide for Evidence-based Program Implementation (FS328E), a fact sheet that helps community program coordinators best meet the needs of their communities.
- Building a Tradition of Adaptive Rangeland Management: Jack Southworth, part of the Rancher-to-Rancher Case Study series (PNW731). This guide looks at the practices that have helped an Oregon cattle producer maintain rangeland health and economic viability.
- End-of-Season Corn Stalk Nitrate-Nitrogen Test for Post-Harvest Evaluation (FS336E) and accompanying Case Study (TB66E). Corn growers use dairy manure to enrich their fields, but too much can impact the environment. This guide and case study helps farmers understand and use a post-harvest testing tool to fine-tune their nitrogen management.
