Practical Farmers of Iowa has planned a series of spring field days focused on cover crop issues in grazing and row crop systems.

Farmers and community members are invited to see cover crops in action on a farm, and learn about the basics as well as practices used to maximize the financial return from cover crops. On April 6th, a session titled “Cover Crops for Corn and Soybeans” will be hosted by Ward Van Dyke in rural Leighton and Pella. All field days in the series run from noon to 3 p.m., and are free and open to everyone. Each field day starts with a complimentary lunch. RSVPs are requested for the meal.
