The Champlain Valley Crop, Soils, and Pasture Team<\/strong> will lead a hands-on discussion of benefits cover crop mixes hosted by\u00a0Chuck Farr and Ashley Farr and families.\u00a0Farr Farms is a multi-generational dairy operation; Chuck Farr focuses on crop production while his son, Ashley, and his family manages the dairy. Here, we will discuss the many opportunities that winter rye, grown as a seed crop, can offer. We will also take a look at large blocks of 8 different combinations of legumes, brassicas and cereal grains and discuss the benefits and challenges of these systems. We will be looking at cover crops that we drilled with our no-till grain drill.<\/div>\n
