Boosting a Farm's Resiliency Through Cover Crops and Crop Rotations
2026-08-27 | Regeneration Ag, 1798 Jj Avenue, Marengo, IA, 52301, United States
Ross McCaw began planting cover crops in 2019 to try to reduce his nitrogen inputs. He’s taking part in a nitrogen reduction trial through PFI’s on-farm research program to document the results. In 2023, Ross started planting a three-crop rotation to raise more rye for seed and get all of the benefits of cover crops. He added plant growth regulators to achieve a healthier rye stand for harvesting. After the rye comes out, he drills in a diverse cover crop mix. Ross is partnering with his landlord to graze his 25 cattle in the fall and has added a grazing mix to the rotation in one of his fields.
At this field day, you’ll see the diverse cover crop mix growing after the rye has been harvested, and before the cattle graze it. We’ll also see a field planted in cover crops going into corn the following year.
A meal will be served following the field day.

9th Annual Midwest Mechanical Weed Control Field Day
2026-09-16 | Michgan State University’s Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center, 1791 Hillandale Road, Benton Harbor, MI, 49022, United States
At the morning Expo/trade show you’ll see weeding tools and speak with company reps from manufacturers in the US, Europe, and Japan; connect with suppliers and buyers; and meet the farmers in attendance from all over the region. At the morning education sessions you’ll learn from experienced farmers and experts.
At noon, the field day will break for lunch – an opportunity to network, or continue looking at trade show equipment and speaking with exhibitors. In the afternoon farmers follow the tractors out to the demonstration fields, where corn, beets, and brassicas have been planted especially for the demonstrations. The field demos are the heart of this event, and MANY cultivation tools of all scales for row crops and vegetables will be demonstrated by company reps. Everything from camera-guided, to autonomous robots, to belly-mounted cultivators and cultivating tractors will be demonstrated in the field and explained by manufacturers. Participants are split into small groups for quality demo. These demonstrations will show how the machines should be mounted and properly adjusted according to crop and soil conditions, and will help farmers visualize how the implements can work on their own farms.
This event is perfect for farmers and ag advisors who want to: see a particular weeding tool before buying it, learn how to adjust cultivators, see what is new in cultivation, and learn from other farmers.
