Conservation Walk at the ISA Agronomy Farm

Join the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) on Thursday, March 5, from 2 to 4 p.m. for a Conservation Walk at the ISA Agronomy Farm. This free public event highlights on-farm research in soil health, weed management, and conservation practices. Attendees will visit several research and demonstration areas, including a cover crop biomass and weed-suppression trial, cover crop and pollinator plots, and a rainfall simulator demonstration. ISA staff and partners will share findings on using cover crops to manage herbicide-resistant weeds and provide information on conservation funding and technical assistance. The ISA Agronomy Farm is located on U.S. 51 in McLean County, about two miles south of Heyworth. Look for the ISA Agronomy Farm sign and park in the grass lane. Please dress for the weather and be prepared to walk in field conditions. For questions, contact Whitney Miller at whitney.miller@ilsoy.org or 309-445-0947.
