Over the past few years, we’ve seen increasing interest regarding interseeding cover crops into early development stages of corn (V4-V6) and soybean (V2-V4). This driving tour will provide an opportunity for interested individuals to view interseeded fields at a location closest to them or to view as many locations as they would like.

There is no charge. RSVP is only required for individuals desiring a boxed lunch; please RSVP for lunch at (402) 362-5508. The boxed lunch is sponsored by The Nature Conservancy and it will be located at the Upper Big Blue NRD (UBBNRD) in York. There will be no restrooms at the field locations; restrooms can be used at convenience stores along the tour route or at the UBBNRD.

Viewing of the fields will occur only at the times listed to allow for the cooperators to tour the other locations. We are grateful to these cooperators for conducting these interseeding studies! For any questions or difficulty finding locations, please contact Jenny Rees (402) 440-4739 or Nelson Winkel (308) 833-0487.
