Workshop: Cover Crops

Cover Crops - Planning for Success & Practical Termination

Interested in using cover crops on your farm but unsure where to start—or how to end them?

Join Washington State University Extension, Clallam Conservation District, the Jefferson County Conservation District, and local farmers for a WEBINAR exploring how to successfully incorporate cover crops into western Washington farming systems. 

Guest speakers include Nathan Stacey from Oregon State University and John Bellow from SpringRain Farm and Orchard. Together, they will discuss how to select the right cover crop species based on your production goals and share real-world lessons learned about terminating cover crops and integrating them into working farms. 

Whether you’re planting your first cover crop or looking to improve your management practices, you’ll leave with practical information you can apply this season.

Registration is required through WSU Extension. CLICK HERE to learn more about the event and register through WSU Extension.
