Water Rocks!, Iowa State University’s youth water education program, received an Iowa Environmental Excellence Award for Environmental Education this fall at the State Capitol in Des Moines.
We are not aware of any situations of cover crop seed used in Iowa being a source of Palmer amaranth, and have not heard of this situation in other Midwest states.
As fall cover crops go into the ground, many farmers have questions. Dr. Mike Castellano will share his research on how cover crops can best be managed to maximize benefits during the Iowa Learning Farms’ monthly webinar on Wednesday, September 21 at 1 p.m.
Iowa Learning Farms will host a soil health and cover crop field day at Black Hawk Lake in Lake View on Thursday, September 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Iowa Learning Farms will host a field day on Thursday, September 8th. The 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. field day near Cedar Rapids is free and open to the public.
Next Webinar: Wednesday, October 19 1:00 p.m.
