This webinar, sponsored by La Crosse Seed, explores several ways farmers and agronomists are working together to improve soil health and boost yields and profits by adopting cover crops targeted for specific traits. Brandon VanMiddendorp of La Crosse Seed is joined by a panel including Betsy Bower of Ceres Solutions, Don Daniels of Centerra Co-Op and no-tiller Carter Morgan for this free webinar.

Grasshoppers love feeding on a range of grasses, such as cereal rye that's grown as a cover crop prior to soybeans. But when that food source becomes scarce, the nymphs move on to other feeding sites, including nearby crops. Get control with these tips from Purdue University.

As a result of a challenging fall harvest and a considerable precipitation deficit across much of North Dakota, ranchers are considering options to increase their forage supply. These tips from North Dakota State University Extension can help guide species selections.

Cover crops combined with no-tillage systems can increase soil organic carbon, which could help slow the effects of climate change on farms, according to a recent study by University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment scientists.

Developed at the University of Minnesota, this perennial food crop with environmental and health benefits is now available for farmers to grow, says the Crop Science Society of America.
