Time for…Field Days

Our project is about two things: 1) Our long-term goal is to develop and increase the reliability of PGC systems through research and to share what we know with all interested parties. That’s why Field Days are so important to us as a multidisciplinary research team.

We just finished our first 2024 Field Day sponsored by the Black Hawk (Iowa) Soil and Water Conservation District. On June 13th, we shared our PGC vision with 24 producers. By all accounts, the event was a success.

We are hosting three more Iowa Field Days this summer and in Nebraska. Don’t miss your chance to learn about Perennial Groundcover and what this new approach to cover crops can bring to the land. Stay tuned for complete registration information, and until then … start making plans!

  • Corning, IA – July 24 ( * Registration Deadline 7/19/24)
  • Nashua, IA – Aug. 7 ( * Registration Deadline – 8/2/24)
  • Ames/Boone IA Aug. 14 (* Registration Deadline 8/9/24)
  • Nebraska – TBD

Stay tuned for our new field trial webpage coming out in late April. We anticipate hosting multiple field day events in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Ohio, where we will share the latest developments on perennial grass establishment and suppression. We learn more about perennial grass cover management daily and look forward to sharing our new knowledge with multiple ag constituents.

RegenPGC releases new video, first in proposed series

Watch Raj Raman, Regen PGC Project Director, introduce our perennial ground cover research project. With funding from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, we expect to go a long way in moving the needle on a new way of doing cover crops. This video is the first in a series of brief videos that will feature RegenPGC researchers discussing perennial ground cover planting, suppression, and other important agronomic management issues.
