SUMMARY:Fitting Pieces Together: Creative Crop Rotations To Complete the Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Paul Hoffman returned to his family farm near Earlville\, Illinois\, to take over the row crop operation in 2014 after exploring a career teaching math. Since then\, he has gradually diversified the farm’s rotations to include organic corn\, soybeans\, wheat\, sunflowers\, canola\, oats\, buckwheat\, rye\, red clover and forages. The forages in his rotations feed the herd of Dutch Belted and Milking Shorthorn cattle\, which his mother\, Winifred\, maintains. Paul’s wife\, Trisha\, and their kids also help raise 100% grass-fed lambs.   \nPaul uses his math skills to piece together a crop rotation puzzle that reduces weed pressure\, breaks pest and disease cycles and meets the farms economic needs. Attend his field day to learn how sunflowers\, red clover\, winter squash\, livestock and more are each finding their place on the Hoffman farm.

SUMMARY:Using Drones to Interseed Cover Crops This Fall
DESCRIPTION:You know that using cover crops will improve your soil’s health\, prevent erosion\, and enhance nutrient cycling on your land\, but the challenges seem overwhelming.  \nNew technology may provide the answers to the challenges of timing\, weather\, and field conditions that have kept you from fully embracing cover crops.  \nGrow & Graze returns Thursday\, Aug. 27 with a special webinar on using drones to seed cover crops. Panelists include the owners of L&R Ag from Breese.  \nDrones allow producers to interseed cover crops in early fall prior to harvest which allows them to get established. Using a drone instead of heavy equipment eliminates soil compaction and works on all types of field conditions (we mean mud!)\, including those hard-to-reach areas. Learn how the regenerative ag community is incorporating drone technology.
