Iowa Learning Farms will host a relay intercropping field day on Thursday, June 1 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Jason Russell\u2019s Farm near Monticello. The free event is open to farmers and landowners and includes a complimentary meal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The field day aims to equip attendees with best management practices for establishing and managing a relay intercropping system designed to improve soil health and reduce nutrient losses while increasing productivity and profitability. The relay intercropping system begins following corn with the seeding of winter wheat or rye. The soybean crop is planted into the winter wheat\/rye the next spring and the winter wheat\/rye is harvested for grain in June. Following soybean, oats are planted as a cover crop ahead of corn.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The event will feature a field visit with farmer host, Jason Russell, to take a closer look at his relay intercropping system and discuss best management practices for the system. Dr. Mark Licht, associate professor and extension cropping systems specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, will discuss how relay intercropping systems can be integrated into existing rotations and highlight how to successfully manage the system based on current research. Ross Evelsizer, Northeast Iowa RC&D natural resource projects director, will share results from local relay intercropping cereal rye and soybeans trials. Erin Erickson, Maquoketa River Watershed Management Authority watershed coordinator, will share opportunities to get involved and staff from Center for Rural Affairs will provide resources and updates related to crop insurance and relay intercropping.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The field day will be held at the Russell Farm, 234 Prairie Main Rd, Monticello, 52310. From Monticello, head west on Co Rd E16\/Prairie Hills Rd for 10 miles. Turn right to head north on Frozen Hill Rd for 1 mile. Turn left to head west on Prairie Main Rd and the farm is located on the south side of the road.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The 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 ilf@iastate.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 Attendees will be entered in a drawing for ISU Prairie Strips honey.<\/p>\n
