I'm excited we have Brian in the state to talk about planter setup- such an important step in cover crop systems.

One of our SMS themes this year is "occasional", "strategic", "intermittent" tillage. We've got Marla Riekman as well as Humberto on the tricky question of how much disturbance might serve you, and when?

This is usually the stretch of road I get my best #soilerosion pics but this fall there was a HUGE change with multiple farmers planting #covercrops and not tilling the hilltops! Thank you I hope you can see the benefits quickly 😊

Checking out soil structure at a couple of fields near Waseca 4/17/25

Drastic reduction in #waterhemp seedling density at crop planting time (May 14, 2025) in Guilherme Chudzik’s cereal rye #covercrop treatments at the Rock County Farm (Janesville, WI)! No-till (no cover crop): 63 waterhemp seedlings per sq ft No-till with high-biomass cereal rye cover

It's so important to get the seed placement right when you're planting into a living cover crop. Come see live planting demos and chat about equipment at Waseca or Goodhue May 29. UMN-SROC Bailey Tangen extension.umn.edu/event/planting… extension.umn.edu/event/planting…

Goodhue SWCD and UMN Extension are hosting a Planting Green Field Event tomorrow, May 29, 9:00 AM-11:30 AM! Hear from local farmers and ask questions about the dos and don'ts of planting a cash crop into a cover crop. Beef sticks, donuts, coffee, and great info included!

Down in Waseca last week- signs that much of the rain we got mid-May didn't go into the ground in the heavily tilled system.

If you are wanting to see planting green in action, this field day tomorrow is for you. No rain come overnight so the planter will be able to run.

eep, got some hard rains yesterday. Hopefully some of those fields had #covercrops residue to protect them from soil loss

Register for the Field School for Ag Professionals! We have some great #covercrop plots including: planting soybeans into mature wheat, PREemerge herbicides on different cover crop species, and effects of soil health on cash crop productivity. blog-crop-news.extension.umn.edu/2025/06/early-…

oof these rainfalls are getting pretty high. Fingers crossed for some dry-out time for crops to keep growing
