The Highland SWCD and the Highland County Farm Bureau have partnered together to host a field day to uncover the importance of planting cover crops.
The event is scheduled for Aug. 21, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Brown Farms in Highland County. Information will be provided on fertilizer recommendations, the importance of improving soil health and a tour of a cover crop plot. Various events will be held throughout the day, such as in-field and an aerial seeding demonstrations.
This field day will offer a unique on-site opportunity for landowners to carefully consider all cover crop options that can be implemented to advance their farming operation while capturing nutrients for a long-term investment. This field day will offer CCA credits for certified crop advisers and has a great line-up of cover crop door prize donations.
Lunch will be provided with pre-registration by Aug. 14. Please register online or call the Highland SWCD office at 937-393-1922 Ext 3 to register.
