NE Extension HAL Cover Crop Field Day

Come and learn about selecting fall-planted cover crops for different management goals! We will tour plots with rye, triticale, wheat, barley, oats, hairy vetch, brassica varieties, and several mixes.

The field tour will also include 1) cereal rye cover crop demonstration to determine fertilizer N equivalence values at the 39 years long-term tillage and crop rotation plots, and 2) integrated nutrient management efforts to improve water quality in the manure vs. commercial nitrogen fertilizer management plots.

This free program will be held April 30, from 1 pm to 3 pm at the Haskell Ag Lab at 57905 866 Road Concord NE 68728. Refreshments will be provided.
