Description

Join Alberta Farmers for a 2 Part workshop on Cover Cropping on Jan 28th and 4th from 1-3 MT.

Cover crops are a powerful tool for improving soil health! They can help address agronomic challenges like droughty or waterlogged soils, erosion, and poor soil structure, as well as improve fertility and interrupt pest and disease cycles.

There’s a lot of info out there to wade through and the choices can get overwhelming. This training will use mentor-led and farmer-to-farmer discussions to take out some of the guesswork that comes with trying something new.

We’ll cover topics like:

  • Cover crop fundamentals, including their benefits and how to reduce costs

  • Understanding different species

  • How to choose the right species for your conditions and the problem you want to tackle

  • How to work cover crops into your rotation

  • Methods for seeding, management, and termination

  • Monitoring soil health


You will also gain access to free online courses, resources, access to farmer mentors and also farmer social networks in your area to help you implement these practices on your farm through the FaRM program at www.farmlearninghub.ca.

Mentor: Karin Lindquist
