Discover how roller crimpers can help manage cover crops without turning the soil — see the equipment in action and learn how to make this low-disturbance method work for your operation at Nebraska Extension’s hands-on workshop on Wednesday, May 20.
Roller crimpers mechanically terminate cover crops while leaving the soil undisturbed, ideally creating a thick mulch that suppresses weeds. They are commonly used by organic and regenerative farmers, as well as others looking to reduce herbicide inputs or improve weed control with cover crops.
Growers and ag professionals interested in learning more about this termination strategy are invited to attend Nebraska Extension’s annual workshop at the Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension and Education Center (ENREEC), near Mead, Nebraska. Free on-site registration begins at 9 a.m.; no pre-registration is required. The program will begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 11:30 a.m.
In the event of inclement weather, the workshop will be rescheduled for Friday, May 22.
For more information, contact Katja Koehler-Cole at 402-504-1016 or Aaron Nygren at 402-624-8030. ENREEC is located at 1071 County Road G, Ithaca, Nebraska.
This event is free thanks to funding from Nebraska Extension and the USDA Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).
