LYONS —Farmers interested in finding out if cover crops can benefit their operation are invited to a free online webinar hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs.
This virtual event will help farmers determine if cover crops are right for their climate and soil type, as well as learn more about when to plant and when to terminate.
The second in a five-part series on conservation practices, “Cover Crops, can they work on your farm?” is scheduled for Thursday, March 20, from 10 to 11 a.m.
“Cover crops can stabilize soil, build organic matter, and much more; however, establishing a successful stand comes with challenges,” said Andrew Tonnies, policy associate with the Center.
