Participants will learn about the five recognized agroforestry practices: Windbreaks, Alleycropping, Silvopasture, Forest Farming and Riparian. (Time: 00:58)

A training module explaining how to enter information into the HSG matrix to generate a hydrologic soil group classification for use in storm water feature design as well as the MIDS calculator. (Time: 34 minutes)

The basics of drainage and why it is done, installing drainage, the wetland hydrology technical criterion, the terms “effectively drained” and “lateral effect”, and drainage setback tables. (Time: 15 minutes)

(Time: 18:11)  This is the second of two training modules on the topic of wetland hydrology monitoring – offered as an auxiliary part of the Wetland Delineator Certification Program (WDCP) basic wetland delineation course. It covers installation of shallow monitoring wells and piezometers, measuring water levels, and data interpretation.

(Time: 30:42)  This is the first of two training modules on the topic of wetland hydrology monitoring – offered as an auxiliary part of the Wetland Delineator Certification Program (WDCP) basic wetland delineation course. It is an introduction to the what, why, where, and how of wetland hydrology monitoring, including types of monitoring, levels of effort, questions that are answered by monitoring, shallow monitoring wells and piezometers, planning, documentation, and maintenance.

(Time:16:57) This video provides basic information on the beef industry in Minnesota including terminology, production systems, economics and issues.

The training shows the tile design components of the WASCOB Design spreadsheet. This video finishes the basin system design started in the WASCOB Design Intro video. The tile design tabs and output pages will be explained through this recorded demonstration. The user will see where data is entered and get a better understanding of how to draft up and design the tile outlet system as part of the WASCOB practice. (Time: 19:22)

(Time 19:55) The training intruduces employees to NRCS's WASCOB Design spreadsheet. This is an introductory level training with a format of some demonstration but mostly PowerPoint. There is a brief overview of the entire spreadsheet and then the video focuses on the inputs, output results, and design considerations of the first tab related to a single basin design.

(Time: 10:02) Video pulls in some linked "handouts" (see links below) to prepare staff for discussions with landowners during the initial parts of I&E. Statement of Work and O&M plans are briefly discussed. It summarizes the main criteria in a design by linking the training's topics back to the practice standards.

(Time: 14:06) Focuses on the underground outlet supporting practice and ties the outlet design into the basin design. Stage storage is explained and it touches on survey considerations. This section is more technical and promotes an understanding of the basic computations regardless of the design software used.
