October 11: Pasture soil health field day
A field day is scheduled for October 11, 2016 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the Schriefer Farm, Jacobson Road, Dodgeville, Wisconsin (GPS coordinates 42.9236975,-90.0653316), to examine the impact of grazable cover crops on soil structure and function. Pasture tour and discussion will simulate effects of a 2-inch rainfall, examine a 3-ft-deep soil pit, discuss results of a Haney Test of soil biological function, and compare growth of cover crop species, including sorghum sudan, cowpea, sunflower, forage oats, forage winter triticale, peas, and brassica.
