Making Cover Crops Work

Soils for Life are hosting a ‘Making Cover Crops Work’ field day on Wednesday 27 March in Emerald Hill, near Gunnedah NSW. You'll hear from grain and cotton farmer Scott McCalman about how he is integrating cover crops in his broadacre enterprise, and his experiences with roller crimping and easing off intensive inputs. Plant and soil health educator Joel Williams will be joining to share his insights into plant nutrition, how to optimise plant immunity and soil function, and how to reduce inputs while also managing risk.

This event will start at the Emerald Hill Community Hall and finish at Scott McCalman’s nearby mixed cropping farm ‘Kuranda’. Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
