Small-Grain Harvest and Post-Harvest Handling in the Little Sioux Valley
Tuesday, July 27 | 6:30-7:15 p.m.
Host: Roger Wilcox
At this “Live From the Farm” event, Roger will discuss combine settings and the conditions he looks for to harvest cereal rye and oats. We will also look at post-harvest handling, such as seed cleaning and storage of small grains. Because the small-grain crops Roger raises are mostly sold as cover crop seed, he will discuss best practices for raising, harvesting and handling cover crop seed. If timing allows, we will view the cover crop drilling process.
