Cover Crop Workshop

Tuesday, February 14 (12p-2pm)

Sioux County Extension Office, 400 Central Ave NW Suite 700, Orange City, IA 51041

Iowa Learning Farms, in partnership with Consortium for Cultivating Human And Naturally reGenerative Enterprises (C-CHANGE), will host a cover crop workshop on Tuesday, February 14 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. at the Sioux County Extension Office. We welcome farmers and landowners to attend the free event, which includes a complimentary meal catered by the Bridge View Center.

Cover crops offer many benefits to farmers and landowners, including reduced soil erosion, weed suppression potential, reduced nitrogen and phosphorus loads entering water bodies, increased organic matter in the soil and forage potential for livestock. When paired with no-tillage or strip-tillage, additional benefits include increased water infiltration to further reduce erosion during heavy rain events. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about these opportunities, ask questions, and share their experiences.
