From Allegany County Cornell Cooperative Extension,
Cover crops continue to grow in popularity due to their many benefits; including reduced soil erosion, weed suppression potential, reduced nitrogen and phosphorus loads entering water bodies, and increased soil organic matter.
Please join us for a morning of hands-on learning with expert insights from local farmers, industry representatives, and extension. We will have some demonstration plots in action along with discussion about how cover crops influence soil and soil health demonstrations showing impacts on farm resiliency. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences with cover cropping as well.
The program is free to attend however pre-registration is requested by Wednesday, August 6th to assist with planning. Lunch will be provided.
