 Hi, I'm Libby Neal and I'm the IPM project assistant. I'm Harley Willis. I'm the beginning farmer program assistant and virtual events coordinator. And we here in the beginning farmer program teamed up with the local food safety collaborative to create this farm model to assess environmental hazards and produce operations for our farmer stakeholders at conferences and training events. Here we will demonstrate different runoff situations and how to overcome them when planning an operation. In many farm landscapes there are animals as well as crops of some sort. As you can see here we have modeled a poultry operation, a cow calf pasture, and a small growing area. Each of these three sections are completely interchangeable to demonstrate how operations would be affected by either being upstream, downhill, or on a deeply sloped hill. Here runoff from rain could flow from the top of this hill down to the side of the farm. As most rainwater eventually flows back into the river this helps farmers visualize that runoff situations will affect the water usage further downstream. This could include manure from the pasture, poultry litter from the chicken houses, or any wildlife surrounding the area. One of our most important features are these vegetative and bare ground buffers. These can be moved to efficiently divert any runoff without damaging or interfering with the operation closest to it. In other features we have added power lines which are unavoidable in some areas. This will demonstrate how birds can affect produce safety by providing a place for birds to roost directly above the growing area. There is also a chicken coop, hoop house, trees, and wildlife which bring this model to life and can help a farmer visualize his or her own operation through customization. Each part of the model is waterproof for damage free and easy cleanup. It is also stackable with handles on each side to make it completely transportable and easier to store away. Thank you for watching this preview of a farm scale model for environmental risk assessment of produce growing operations brought to you with support from the Alabama Beginning Farmer Program and the local food safety collaborative.
