New Regional Cover Crop Field Guide Released
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 12/02/2021

The Midwest Cover Crops Council is releasing a new edition of the Cover Crops Field Guide. The popular pocket-size in-field reference helps growers effectively select, grow and use cover crops.

Topics include cover crop selection, cropping system recommendations and effects of cover crops. Updates to the guide include recommendations for cover crop termination in unfavorably wet springs and planting green into cover crops. The cover crop species section of the guide has also been expanded to include white clover, forage brassicas, balansa clover and several cover crops that are commonly used in a mix.

Meanwhile, the council will also hold a live, one-hour webinar on December 8 at 11:30 p.m. CST to outline the updates and answer questions. Go to the Midwest Cover Crops Council website to register for the webinar or view a recorded version later. Attendees who pre-register at https://bit.ly/3o5gg5e will be eligible to receive a free copy of the new field guide after the webinar; limited quantities are available.

The MCCC is made up of representatives from 12 Midwest states, including Wisconsin, as well as other agricultural stakeholders, universities and Extension.
