Join University of Minnesota Extension, Querna Farm, and Albert Lea Seed for an informational cover crop field day on Friday, November 1, 2013 from 1 to 3 p.m. just outside of New Richland.
Cover crops are a multifunctional best management practice for Minnesota farmers. Adding them to any farm operation can result in numerous benefits to the soil and even the pocket book. Easiest after early harvested cash crops, but still possible in the corn/soybean system, cover crops have gotten additional notice in 2013 due to the wet spring that prevented some farmers from planting their cash crops.
