Join us for a free virtual panel discussion featuring farmers from northwest, west central, and southern Illinois utilizing cover crops in their operations. Hear how they’ve incorporated cover crops on their farms, lessons learned, and how these practices fit into their goals for soil health, nutrient management, and profitability, and discuss how cover crops could be integrated into your operation.

Reach out to Rachel Curry at rccurry@illinois.edu to learn more about the program or need a reasonable accommodation. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet access needs.
