Dear Subscribers,

Please see  herebelow and announcement regarding a Podcast on *Drill &
Planter Calibration for Planting Cover Crops *from John Dobberstein of

*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

Hello Amir

The next episode of the *Cover Crop Strategies* Podcast, brought to
you by Cover
Crop Innovators
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-%7C6Baq-8%7Cef%7CE6%5EMqMoc>,
is
now available. Listen to the full episode now >>
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-%7C6Baq-8%7Cefjfa%5EMqMo6vDGr2FqA1tl8a>

Planting is always a challenging process, but planting cover crops can take
that challenge to the next level with different seed shapes, sizes and
densities.

Each type of cover crop requires that the planter be calibrated
differently, and multi-species mixes make it even more puzzling to find the
best calibration. Whether you use a drill or a planter can also impact your
approach.

In this episode, "Drill & Planter Calibration for Planting Cover Crops
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-%7C6Baq-8%7Cefjfq%5EMqMo6vDGr2FqA1tl8a>,"
Steve Groff, Pennsylvania cover crop expert, shares some different methods
for calibrating drills and planters to prepare for planting cover crops.

Thanks for listening,

*P.S. *This past March, more than 3,500 attendees from all 50 states and 45
countries attended the first-ever National Cover Crop Summit to learn how
to harness the full potential of a cover-crop system to protect their soil
and increase their farm’s profits. Due to overwhelming attendee feedback,
for 3 days only, August 14-16, No-Till Farmer and Cover Crop Strategies
editors are re-releasing all 10 thought-provoking sessions, plus one new
bonus session. Register today for this 100% free online event.
