Diversifying a Wisconsin Dairy Farm With Small Grains, Cover Crops and Forage Mixes

At this free Practical Farmers of Iowa field day, third-generation dairy farmer Josh Hiemstra will showcase his latest planting strategies and row spacings to better incorporate cover crops on his farm. With twin-row small grains and skip-row corn, he is opening the door to a variety of cover crop and cash crop interseeding opportunities. Legume and grass forage mixes enhance biodiversity on Josh’s farm and offer nutritious food for his cattle.
