Farmers all over the world grow cover crops for a variety of reasons: to protect the soil, increase yield, reduce erosion and much more. Come to a workshop next week on cover crops to learn how using a cover crop in your garden or fields could benefit you and your farm.
Dr. Chris Reberg Horton and Dr. Rodrick ReJesus will be the guest speakers at the workshop, which will be held Friday, July 28 at the Granville County Expo and Convention Center in Oxford.
Horton will discuss choosing the proper cover crop to suit your conditions, as well as the overall benefits and management techniques.
Rejesus will discuss general cover crop economic principles, as well as “lessons learned” with regard to using cover crops. There also will be an overview of cost share program options.
The workshop begins at 11:30 a.m. at the Expo Center, located at 4185 US 15, Oxford.
