Cover Crops Workshop and Field Day - Aug. 25, 2009
The Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) invites farmers to attend a one day workshop and field day about cover crops. The event will take place from 9am to 5pm, Tuesday, August 25 at the East Main Street Christian Church in Elwood, Indiana.
You have learned about the benefits of cover crops, now get the facts you will need to start using them in your operation. Together with a team of experts from the Purdue University, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Michigan State University, the Midwest Cover Crops Council, Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District and Ag Conservation Solutions, CTIC offers a one-day workshop and field day to give producers the tools to use cover crops this fall. The indoor portion of the workshop will include benefits of cover crops, how to choose cover crops, pros and cons of various cover crops, economics involved in implementing cover crops as well as information on how to find seed, plant, manage, kill and benefit from your cover crop. After the indoor sessions, participants will take a bus to a nearby demonstration plot where we will view and discuss several varieties of Cover Crops.
