Diversifying Crop Rotations on a Western Illinois Farm

Luke Jones and his family started a small farm between Rushville and Astoria, Illinois, with a diverse livestock and row crop operation. Luke has been working with other farmers for years and believes diversity is key to achieving a resilient farm that is environmentally sound and economically profitable. Join Luke at this field day to learn about extending rotations, interseeding cover crops into cash crops and incorporating livestock. Luke will also discuss how to diversify and manage cash crop and cover crop species.
