At the annual Summer Field Day at Jim Hershey's farm there will be a Meeting of the Minds dinner at 6 p.m. on July 24, followed by a full, formal program with Indiana no-tiller Rick Clark as the keynote speaker on July 25. Working with King’s AgriSeeds, Jim Hershey planted a “checkerboard” multi-species cover crop plot to demonstrate the value of various multi-species seed mixes. Also on display will be a variety of farmer-owned planters set up to meet their individual needs and there will be planting green and interseeding demonstrations. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Sure Stay by Best Western (147 Mertz Dr., Elizabethtown). Call 717-367-4000 by July 18 to reserve a room, and MAKE SURE to mention the PA No-Till Alliance.
