 The use of cover crops is also creating interest across the country, and Chichester says it’s especially relevant in light of issues related to last year’s flooding.  (play audio   :25)
 The cost of the program is $15 if pre-registered, or $20 at the door.  For questions about the Pasture Management Workshop or to pre-register, contact the UNL Extension office in Richardson, Nemaha, or Johnson County.
