Join Ashley Wagenaar and North Paddock Farms to discover the optimal seeding populations of effective cover crops. An established cover crop throughout the off-season protects your field and provides multiple benefits to your next year's crop. In a windy, arid region like southern Alberta this should be a top priority for all growers. However, removing wasted inputs is paramount to running a successful operation.

This project addresses the knowledge gap in post-potato cover crops, aiming to identify the optimal seeding rate for fall cereals after potatoes. Because potato harvest is so late in the season, there isn't much time for producers to wait before getting back in the field before the first frost falls. Wagenaar and North Paddock Farms invite you to visit for a quick chat and find the answer to optimize your farm.

This event is one in a series of on-farm events Farming Smarter will offer this summer through its Conservation Agronomist Program. Watch our event listings for future events taking place on participating farms in southern Alberta. There might be one next door to you!
