This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, examines the relationship between U.S. agriculture and climate disruption, covering how farming both contributes to and can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. It surveys carbon sequestration practices, explores carbon market mechanisms including cap-and-trade and subsidies, and outlines opportunities for farmers and ranchers to reduce emissions while potentially generating value from carbon storage.

Join Jen Skoog of Family Roots Farm for a webinar discussion on how organic farms can prepare for tax filing season. Learn about balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and debt to asset ratios used to assess your farm's financial health.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, introduces soil properties, biology, and nutrient cycling as the foundation for healthy pasture management. It covers soil quality assessment, regenerative grazing principles, cover crop integration, and strategies for transitioning away from input-dependent systems, emphasizing that feeding soil microorganisms through managed grazing and living root cover is key to sustaining long-term pasture productivity.

Join Jen Skoog of Family Roots Farm for Part II of her ‘Farm Finance’ webinar. In this webinar, learn how to create enterprise budgets and how to use partial budgets to aid in farm decision making.

This tipsheet, produced by ATTRA NCAT, profiles butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) as a cover crop for hot, humid, and subtropical regions. Drawing on field trials in South Texas, it covers the crop's nitrogen fixation capacity, drought tolerance, organic matter production, pest resistance, and weed suppression limitations, while noting its additional value as fodder, ornamental planting, and potential biopesticide source.

This webinar, produced by the Organic Trade Association (OTA) Fiber Council, provides an overview of U.S. organic fiber production and standards for organic textile certification. Learn from industry experts, including representatives from the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Textile Exchange about market growth, certification standards, policy updates, fiber standards, and more.

This comprehensive guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, introduces grass-based and seasonal dairy production for producers seeking lower-input, pasture-centered operations. It covers breed selection, forage and grazing management, facilities, dry cow programs, organic certification requirements, grassfed standards, and marketing strategies.

Join Robert Crystal-Ornelas from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Amber Sciligo from The Organic Center for a webinar about how organic farmers can increase carbon sequestration in their production systems. Learn about the role that agriculture plays in climate change and how organic management practices can contribute to mitigation efforts by storing atmospheric carbon in the soil.

This tipsheet, produced by ATTRA NCAT, reviews botanical control options for grasshoppers, covering neem, garlic, mint, and eucalyptus. It summarizes research findings on each botanical's effectiveness at disrupting grasshopper feeding, maturity, and reproduction, offering growers practical, low-risk alternatives for managing this difficult-to-control pest across a range of cropping systems.

Join Amber Sciligo from The Organic Center, David Crowder from Washington State University, and Olivia Smith from the University of Georgia for a research-based webinar about the potential environmental and economic benefits of organic production, including benefits to biodiversity and farm profitability.

This guidebook, produced by Cornell University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, outlines soil health principles. It covers five main topic areas: foundational soil health concepts (what soil is, soil life, and soil health definitions); soil health assessment methods; soil health management strategies (planning frameworks, management tools, tillage, crop rotations, cover crops, and a case study); and additional resources.

This webinar, produced by The Organic Center, disseminates research findings on the benefits of organic farming to soil health and climate change mitigation and outlines specific organic soil-building practices to illuminate strategies that have the biggest impacts on soil health.
