2021 Cover Crop Tour
Date & Time:
April 12, 2021 - May 31, 2021
Location:
Sac, Carroll, and Calhoun County area
Take an afternoon drive to view fields turning green this spring! The following fields are great examples of the potential for cover crops in the Sac, Carroll, and Calhoun County area. Use the list of fields, and QR code will link to a map.
Many of these fields are part of the Black Hawk Lake Watershed or Farm to River Watershed projects that have cost share funds available for implementing cover crops in their watersheds. Your county Soil and Water Conservation District and NRCS have opportunities for cost share as well. If you are interested in implementing cover crops such as these on your farms, contact one of the watershed coordinators or soil and water conservation districts listed below.
