Subjects to be covered at the event include the economics of soil health, a producer perspective on following winter wheat with cover crops, discussions on cover crop grazing, an overview of the OCC Working On Regenerative Management Systems (W.O.R.M.S) program and a general overview of soil health basics followed by an in-field cover crop tour and rainfall simulator demonstration.
