Hosted by Greg Blaser in a field that was winter wheat, planted to a cover crops mix in mid-August. Field across the road is a soybean population plot planted in 30” rows, with planted populations in 30K increments from 60,000 to 180,000.

What we’ll see and/or discuss at this event:
– Effects of soy population on yield potential and disease risk; what are the best planting rates for different soil/yield conditions in our area?
– Cover crop efficacy in dry conditions; timing and mixes of cover crops to consider.
– NRCS Cost-share opportunities, economic realities of cover crops.
– Winter wheat planting and management considerations in fall.
– Open discussion opportunity on all other topics

Free to attend, light lunch at end of program, and reference materials given
out to all attendees
