Grazing Cover Crops Workshops this Week Across State
Nebraska Ag Connection - 11/11/2019
The Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition, Nebraska Extension, and Green Cover Seed have teamed up to present cover crop workshops at four locations in Nebraska.
Featured speaker Shane New is a regenerative agriculture focused entrepreneur from Holton, Kansas who, with his family, operates New Family Farms. His topics include: knowing how to take economic values from your operation; why are you doing it if you are losing money; do we really know what foods should taste like; and how to change the way you see.
The program will include presentations from local farmers/ranchers who have experience grazing cover crops on row crop acres, as well as a summary of the three-year NET-funded NGLC Grazing Cover Crops Project.
