David Brandt will share his extensive knowledge of how to integrate cover crops into a corn-soybean rotation. Do not miss the chance to learn from one of the most experienced farmers in the world!
Join Rob to learn about the different ways he integrates cover crops throughout his vegetable and poultry farm.
The virtual cover crop field day will discuss the why and how of interseeding cover crops into standing corn. Benefits, challenges, planting, yield, and herbicide interactions will be discussed in a regional manner, considering research in Southwest Michigan, Central Michigan, the thumb, Northwest Michigan, and the UP.

Join this field day to learn about topics including: Cover crop species for after small grains, soybeans, & corn silage Evaluating soil health based on infiltration rates Demonstrating in-field no-till planting from experienced no-till farmers (seed depth and placement, closing wheels, other tips and tricks) RSVP to Andy at aholschbach@co.ozaukee.wi.us
Come see how simple cover crops can be! Farmers will demonstrate multiple planting methods: Fenning S2S Interseeder Custom made seeders Traditional seeders Broadcast seeders Don't miss the two guest speakers: • Gary Fennig, Fennig Equipment • Matt Oemichen, Short Lane Ag Supply
Roger Bindl will be sharing information on his trial with cover crop seeding rates of a 10 species mix. Stop by to learn about cover crop seeding rates, earth worm counts, and more! Learn more here.
The Showcase will demonstrate how cover cropping improves soil water infiltration. Improved soil reduces surface water runoff and farmland erosion. The challenges of runoff will also be discussed during the Showcase. Learn more here.
Join other row crop and livestock farmers for a virtual cover crop boot camp. We’ll hear how cover crops can improve soil health, weed suppression, and opportunities for livestock grazing. Come and advance your understanding of how cover crops can work for you. Learn more here.
Don’t miss information about ways farmers like yourself can improve soil health, learn about cover crops, remain profitable—and even more marketable—by using sustainable techniques that build up natural resilience to weather extremes, pests, and weeds. Learn from educators, researchers, experts, and local Illinois farmers! Speakers include Ray Archuleta, Dr. Joel Gruver, and others. Learn more […]
