- Walk through the test plots of sorghum sudangrass, teff, and buckwheat
- Learn from experts about integrating these crops into your system for:
o Diversifying your cropping system
o Weed suppression in-between crops
o Soil health
o Value as a livestock feed
- Connect with other local farmers looking to use these cover crops
