Underneath the Canopy: Exploring Interseeding, Cover Crop Mixes and Soil Health

David Dedert farms with his father, Dean, raising corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle and sheep near Quincy, Illinois. The farm has undergone a variety of transitions over time, from raising beef cattle to hogs – and now, solely growing row crops. The Dederts work alongside landowner Aleen Mittelberg and farm manager Mike Rice as they transition the land toward regenerative management using no-till and cover crops. Come join a lively discussion with David and Mike about their use of regenerative practices at Twin Mill Farm. You will be able to see their cover crops in no-till fields and discuss their use of soil health testing.
