The Rogers Memorial Farm Field Day invites the public, faculty, and staff to a free educational event on September 25, 2025, starting at 8:30 a.m. near Lincoln, Nebraska.
Supported by USDA-NRCS and Nebraska Extension, this field day celebrates regenerative agriculture and provides practical learning opportunities for anyone interested in sustainable farming and soil health.
“Rogers Memorial Farm’s legacy of no-till, cover cropping and diverse crop rotations and its proximity to the city of Lincoln makes this a must-see event for everyone interested in regenerative farming and soil health in the area!”
The event will showcase a variety of demonstrations and discussions designed to highlight innovative farming methods. Visitors can explore cover crop mixture demonstrations, learn strategies for double cropping and managing water use, and gain valuable insights into how cover crops improve soil structure and fertility.
A hands-on soil health assessment will allow participants to examine soil conditions directly, enhancing their understanding of sustainable land management.
Attendees will also enjoy a guided tour of the farm’s history and long-term research plots, which reveal decades of work in no-till practices and crop rotation systems. These research efforts provide key data on improving productivity while protecting natural resources.
There is no cost to attend, and lunch is included as part of the day’s activities. The event encourages anyone with an interest in agriculture, from students and educators to the public, to participate and learn.
