Iowa Learning Farms and the Warren County Natural Resources Conservation Service are partnering to host a cover crop workshop today at Agri-Tech Aviation near Indianola. The event will review the benefits to farmers and landowners about cover crops, including reduced soil erosion, weed suppression potential, reduced nitrogen and phosphorus loads entering water bodies, and increased organic matter in the soil.

The workshop will be held at the Agri-Tech Aviation Airplane Hangar 12871 Geneva St. from noon to 2pm, and tours of high clearance and airplane cover crop seeders will be available following the program.
