ATTRA – National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service will host a free one-hour webinar. This webinar will address how multi-species cover crops can be used to improve soil health, increase biological diversity, and benefit the bottom line in no-till grain operations. An increasing number of grain farmers are experimenting with these “cocktails” of cover crops such as legumes, grasses, and companion crops to keep the soil covered year-round.
During this webinar, Jay Fuhrer, District Conservationist with the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) in Bismarck, North Dakota, shares his experience with this innovative no-till approach. Fuhrer will present four on-farm case studies to illustrate how to successfully use cover crop “cocktails” to enhance crop production and livestock forage in a no-till grain operation. Susan Tallman, NCAT agronomist and Certified Crop Advisor (CCA), will also join the webinar.
NOTE: The time of the webinar is 1:00 PM Eastern, 12:00 noon Central, 11:00 AM Mountain and 10:00 AM Pacific. Please join the webinar 10 minutes early to allow the required software applet to download.
