Crover Crops from Seed to System
There’s no one-size-fits-all cover crop mix. The right cover crop mix depends on your rotation and goals. Let’s build one that fits yours!
Join us at Wagner Farms Inc. on July 29 to explore a variety of cover crop seeds, sort and compare species, discuss where each cover crop fits within your rotation, build cover crop mixes tailored to your farm’s goals. We’ll disucss practical cover crop systems that help your soil cycle nutrients, improve soil structure and water infiltration, protect the soil, provide forage and so much more!
This event is hands-on, farmer-focused and practical. Ready to build your cover crop mixes? Whether you’re just getting started or looking to fine-tune your cover crop system, this field day is for you.
Come with questions. Leave with ideas you can implement.
