Crop-management meeting set for March

No-till on the Plains, in cooperation with the local conservation district, will be host to a two-hour meeting titled “Continuous No-till: Pursuit of the Ideal.”

The event was funded in part by a grant from the State Conservation Commission. Farmers in Douglas and Shawnee counties may register to attend the meeting at 6:30 p.m. March 5 in Stull.

The event will help farmers improve their management and maximize their no-till system by increasing their knowledge of utilizing new rotations and sequencing of crops.

Attendees will also learn the benefits for utilizing complex rotations and their proper cropping intensity, integrating cover crops and nutrient and pest management.

Preregistration is required. For more information, call 888-330-5142, or visit notill.org.
