When paired with no-tillage or strip-tillage, additional benefits include increased water infiltration to further reduce erosion during heavy rain events. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about these opportunities, ask questions, and share their experiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Jacqueline Comito, Iowa Learning Farms program director, Dr. Matt Helmers, Iowa Nutrient Research Center director, and Dr. Mark Licht, associate professor and extension cropping systems specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and Liz Ripley, Iowa Learning Farms conservation and cover crop outreach specialist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The workshop will be held in the West Union Event Center, 10201 Harding Road, West Union, IA 52175. The event is free and open to farmers and landowners, though we require reservations to ensure adequate space and food. For reasonable accommodations and to RSVP, please contact Liz Ripley at 515-294-5429 or <a href=\"mailto:ilf@iastate.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-safelink=\"true\" data-linkindex=\"4\">ilf@iastate.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 Attendees will be entered in a drawing that evening for ISU Prairie Strips honey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iowa Learning Farms, in partnership with\u00a0Consortium for Cultivating Human And Naturally reGenerative Enterprises (C-CHANGE), will host a cover crop workshop on Wednesday, February 22 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. at the West [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[91,237,416],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-6468","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tag-iowa-learning-farms","tag-project-based-learning","tag-workshop"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
