Are you looking to start growing cover crops? Have you been utilizing them for years? Growers of all experience levels are invited to join OSU Extension Paulding, Wood, and Auglaize County for a monthly informal meeting series focused on cover crops. This series will be a place for producers to network, share ideas, and problem solve with one another about the benefits and issues that utilizing cover crops can bring. All roundtables are hosted from 6:30-8:00PM, with Paulding County meetings on Tuesdays, Wood County meetings on Wednesdays, and Auglaize County meetings on Thursdays. Each date will be a standalone topic, so attendance of all dates is not required. Topics will be determined prior to each month’s meeting to allow for timely selection of issues. This series will not include sales presentations. These meetings are free of charge, and a light snack will be provided.
