Cover Crops & Pizza Crusts

Enjoy a meal and conversation with area farmers and your Soil Water Conservation District at the Redwood Falls Pizza Ranch. Lunch is on us!

Many farmers are interested in cover crops but aren’t sure where to start. By asking the right questions, you can identify cover crop options that best fit your operation’s goals. SFA Senior Advisor Kent Solberg will present essential tips and strategies to help you assess, select, and successfully implement cover crops on your farm.

Staff from Redwood and Renville SWCD offices will share an opportunity from the Alliance to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture, where eligible farmers can earn $100 per acre or animal unit to implement common conservation practices (including cover crops). Applications for this program are open through July 28, 2025. Click here to learn more.

Bring your questions and your appetite!

Registration: It is free to attend. Advance registration requested, walkups welcome.

This event is hosted in partnership with Redwood and Renville SWCDs.
