Cover Crops Management and Selection Field Day

October 4, 2024

10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Location: Gillett, WI

Cover Crops: Good, Great, or Ho-hum? describes the intent of this field day.  Chris Bandura, Conservation Cropping Outreach Specialist; Dan Marzu, UW NPM Program; and Scott Reuss, Regional Crops/Soils Educator will be on hand at Fifield Farms in Oconto County to delve into the realities of Cover Crops in NE WI.  The field day site is the site of a clover cover crop research project being undertaken in multiple locations, as well as having been planted to the host farm's mix after a winter wheat crop.  Discussion will focus on cover crop benefits, opportunities, and realities from UW and NRCS aspects.  Potential issues of cover crops on future crops will also be discussed.
