Perennial Groundcover Series: Iowa State University
Date: Tuesday, January 28, 2025
Time:
Iowa State University and RegenPGC are hosting a five-week lunch-and-learn webinar series starting in January 2025 to explore the innovative use of perennial groundcovers in corn and corn/soybean production systems as a cover crop. This webinar series will focus on providing information on what perennial groundcover agriculture is, the potential benefits it offers, insight into how to effectively manage these systems, and work that is being undertaken to make them more robust for widespread adoption and implementation. The presentations are tailored for farmers, crop advisors, technical service providers, government agencies (NRCS/DNR) and other agricultural scientists eager to understand the possibilities and challenges of integrating perennial groundcovers into their row crop agriculture.
The Land Institute’s Brandon Schlautman, Lead Scientist for the Perennial Legumes Program, will speak at the session titled “Selecting Perennial Groundcovers for Corn and Soybean Production Systems and Their Ideal Characteristics” on January 28th, 2025.
