We are involved in this issue not only as farmers, but also by started a group in 2012 call “Soil Organic Matter Generators” or S.O.M. Generators. We do presentations as training for the NRCS/SWCD’s, Local Watersheds, and other Ag related businesses. We recently had the Heirs and Foundation boards of the McKnight Foundation and the Sam Walton Foundation learning about Soil Regeneration and Cover Crops. We have agreed to participate in a 7 state study by U of Purdue based CTIC. We are also hoping to write a book starting this Winter titled SOIL REGENERATION “Growing Your Soil”

This spring has been a challenge managing cover crops as well. Very few days when the field was dry enough to support spray equipment, the weather was warm enough to have good herbicide activity and the wind was calm enough to spray. Last year I sprayed on April 4th and this year I sprayed shorter rye on April 29th. I am glad to have my Practical Farmers of Iowa network to help think through the challenges.
