Location
1301 Front St.
Keosauqua, IA 52565
Host
Ryan Wolf, Iowa Missouri Seed
Ryan Wolf raises corn and soybeans with his family near Keosauqua, Iowa. Ryan, his father and his brother all share a passion for learning about cover crops and regenerative farming practices and figuring out what works best in their operation. Over the past few years, the Wolfs have increased cover crop acres, and they use a roller-crimper to terminate.
Come join Ryan in an open discussion at this field day where he’ll showcase and discuss fitting cover crops into your operation, roller-crimping, drone-seeding and how soil health can benefit from planting cover crops. He’ll also showcase a field of corn that was planted following a diverse, 13-way cover crop mix made up of triticale, hairy vetch, clover, buckwheat and more.
