Join us on April 14 as we discuss how fertilizer-saving and soil quality-enhancing cover crops can also be an excellent source of high-quality forage from mid-summer late into the fall and extremely early in the spring!  This event begins at 3:00 p.m. just east of the intersection of Plains Road and Tuttle Road in Mason, MI.  We will have an interactive tour of a replicated cover crop research plot that was established in wheat stubble in August of 2009.  Species in these plots include:

 

 
 

·       Grass pea

·        Turnips

·       Various combinations of the above
