Summertime Cover Crop Workshops

Are you looking for more cover crop information? PFI member Dick Sloan pictured here talks about how he drilled cover crops after soybean harvest fall of 2013. Dick is always looking for more information about cover crops in addition to the many experiments he is trying out on his farm. His field day is coming up on June 19th in Rowley, IA.
