The event is open to farmers, agronomists, crop advisers, and conservation professionals interested in improving crop management practices in northern climates. Light refreshments will be provided for attendees.
The field day will focus on practical strategies for implementing cover crops in Northern Wisconsin, with an emphasis on adapting to regional weather conditions.
Participants will also gain insight into how winter conditions have impacted alfalfa stands this season and explore options for renovation and recovery.
This in-person event will include educational discussions and field-based learning opportunities to help attendees better understand crop and soil management. The program will cover key topics related to crops and soils across Clark, Marathon, Taylor, and Wood counties.
