Innovative No-Till: Using Multi-Species Cover Crops to Improve Soil Health
Thursday, December 16, 2010
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST

ATTRA - National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service will host a free
one-hour webinar. This webinar will address how multi-species cover crops can
be used to improve soil health, increase biological diversity, and benefit the
bottom line in no-till grain operations. An increasing number of grain
farmers are experimenting with these “cocktails” of cover crops such as
legumes, grasses, and companion crops to keep the soil covered year-round.

During this webinar, Jay Fuhrer, District Conservationist with the National
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) in Bismarck, North Dakota, shares his
experience with this innovative no-till approach. Fuhrer will present four
on-farm case studies to illustrate how to successfully use cover crop
“cocktails” to enhance crop production and livestock forage in a no-till grain
operation. Susan Tallman, NCAT agronomist and Certified Crop Advisor (CCA),
will also join the webinar.

NOTE: The time of the webinar is 1:00 PM Eastern, 12:00 noon Central, 11:00 AM
Mountain and 10:00 AM Pacific. Please join the webinar 10 minutes early to
allow the required software applet to download.
