Description

Photos from the successful Sept 9, 2015 Edmunds Co. Cover Crop Field Day. In this image, Dr. Dwayne Beck, Farm Manager, Dakota Lakes Research Farm examines roots carefully for signs of microbial activity.

IPSWICH, September 10, 2015 – About 75 agricultural producers attended a cover crop field day on September 9 hosted by the SD Soil Health Coalition, Edmunds County Conservation District, and Ipswich Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The field day demonstrated 4 plots focusing on mixtures targeting salinity, high carbon, grazing, and high nitrogen. Dan Forgey, Agronomy Manager of Cronin Farms in Gettysburg, SD, was the keynote speaker. He and Cronin Farms have been planting cover crops since 2006 focusing on diverse cocktail mixes that help catch and store nutrients for the corn crop, stop erosion, smother weeds, preserve soil moisture and supplement grazing. In addition, the soil pit and rainfall simulator demonstrations were well received.
