Farmers and agricultural professionals from around the state are coming together to share & learn about all things cover crops. Whether you’re a seasoned cover cropper or an absolute beginner, there will be something for everyone!

Topics include creating new opportunities for in-season manure, managing equipment for planting green, adaptive rye management, incorporating cover crops in vegetable rotations, cover crops as forage, and MORE! Many of the presenters will be Wisconsin grain and livestock farmers speaking from experience about what has worked and hasn’t worked in their Wisconsin conservation cropping systems.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Abbey Wick, North Dakota State University
Dr. Abbey Wick, North Dakota State University Extension Soil Health Specialist and Associate Professor, has experience working with farmers on soil health building practices like incorporating cover crops into rotation and transitioning to no-till systems.
