We were bummed to cancel the Reichert planting green field day BUT we’re still getting together!

Join us for a Shop Talk at Chris and Jenny Reichert’s where they’ll walk through their approach to planting green, share what’s worked and what hasn’t, and answer your questions in a relaxed setting.

If you’ve been curious about planting green on your farm, this is a great chance to hear first-hand experiences. Bring a lawn chair and come hang out.

Between the Lakes Demo Farm Network is excited to partner with Sheboygan River Progressive Farmers to support this event!

Ever wish you had more accurate weather and soil info for your area? That's where Wisconet - Wisconsin's Environmental mesonet - comes in.

Wisconet is a FREE network of weather and soil monitoring stations across WI - several of which are hosted by Demo farms! Each station collects updated info every five minutes, including things like air temp, rainfall, wind, soil temp and moisture, and more. Some stations even track ag-focused tools like evapotranspiration, cattle comfort index, and chill hours.

With nearly 80 station statewide, Wisconet helps capture our state's unique growing conditions and gives farmers another tool to support day-to-day decisions.

Then ➡️ Now 🌱

Last season, Dale Theel air seeded cereal rye at harvest by custom mounting a Valmar 1655 air seeder onto his combine. Fast forward to this spring, and the rye is up and looking good! A great example of how innovation can help make cover crops work in tight windows.

👉Check out the comment for more info on Dale's design!

👀What's happening under that little shingle in the field?👀

Greendale Farms and Kleiber Grain Farm are teaming up with SlugNet, a statewide effort tracking slug activity in Wisconsin conservation cropping systems. This work with UW-Madison Division of Extension helps growers stay ahead of potential slug damage while helping to understand when, where, and why slugs become a problem.

Curious what's showing up around the state? SlugNet shares Weekly Slug Pressure Reports with county updates all season long! Follow along and learn more at the SlugNet website - https://cropsandsoils.extension.wisc.edu/slugnet/
