Join the Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series on Thursday, July 24 for a discussion on cover crops after wheat with Brook Wilke, PhD, associate director for science and agronomy at Kellogg Biological Station. Wilke is an expert in sustainable cropping systems and agronomic innovations.
Wheat harvest in summer results in a great window to add cover crops to Michigan cropping systems, bringing benefits such as nitrogen fixation, soil health improvement, weed control and soil moisture management.
