SUMMARY:Cover Crops Your Way: Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Build a Cover Crop Plan That Fits the Farm\nFarmers and growers looking to improve soil health can join Cover Crops Your Way\, a two-part workshop scheduled for October 22 and November 14 in Morganton. \nThe program begins with a classroom session from 6 to 8 p.m. October 22 at the N.C. Cooperative Extension Burke County Center\, 130 Ammons Drive.   Participants will return November 14 from 10 a.m. to noon for a hands-on demonstration at Oak Hill Community Park and Forest\, 820 N.C. 126. Pre-registration is required. \nThe workshop moves from classroom instruction to practical field application. \n\n\nCover Crop Selection\, Soil Testing\, and Establishment\nTopics will include the benefits of cover crops\, different cover crop varieties\, soil testing\, planning\, and establishment. Organizers also plan a cover crop planting demonstration during the field portion of the program. \nThe classroom session will cover different cover crop types and how to use them in production environments.   During the November field session\, participants will see how different cover crops are established and gain practical knowledge they can apply to their own operations. \nThat combination may help growers who understand the general benefits of cover crops but need help deciding which species\, planting methods\, or timing make sense for their farms. \nSupporting Healthier Soils\nCover crops can be part of a broader farm-management strategy\, not a one-size-fits-all practice. Producers need to consider their production system\, soil conditions\, planting windows\, and goals when selecting what to grow between cash crops. \nThe workshop aims to help participants develop a cover crop plan rather than simply introducing individual species. \nThe program is being offered through N.C. Cooperative Extension in cooperation with partners including Burke Soil and Water Conservation District\, Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina\, and Empowering Mountain Food Systems. \nFor Appalachian Highlands vegetable producers\, diversified farms\, market gardeners\, and other growers interested in soil health\, the two-session format provides both instruction and an opportunity to see cover-crop establishment in the field. \nParticipants must register in advance. Burke County Extension can also provide additional information about the sessions. \n  \nRead our full-length articles about educational opportunities here!

SUMMARY:Cover Crops Your Way: Field Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Put Cover-Crop Planning Into Practice\nThe second session of Cover Crops Your Way will be held November 14 from 10 a.m. to noon at Oak Hill Community Park & Forest in Morganton. This hands-on demonstration follows the October 22 classroom workshop and focuses on establishing different cover crops in the field. \nParticipants will see practical techniques for cover-crop establishment and build on earlier instruction about species selection\, soil testing\, equipment and planning. \nA Hands-On Follow-Up\nThe field session gives growers an opportunity to connect classroom information with actual planting and establishment practices. The two-part format is intended to help farmers and gardeners choose cover crops that match their goals and understand how to put those choices into practice. \nRegistration Required\nThe demonstration will be held at Oak Hill Community Park & Forest\, 820 NC-126 in Morganton.
