In response to the anticipated prevented planting in various parts of North Dakota, we are planning a series of Café Talks on cover crops in prevented planting situations. These will be an excellent opportunity to meet with North Dakota State University specialists and researchers to run through options and hopefully we can get some insurance representatives there to provide input during the conversation.

Like all Café Talks, these will be a discussion of options for mixes based on next crop in rotation, soil type, herbicide residual, fertility amongst any other questions that come up. No need to RSVP, just show up. Here's the schedule:
