Epworth News LINDA LAMPE Correspondent Farmers are rediscovering the many ways cover crops benefit soil health, from improv- ing soil structure to reducing soil erosion and nutrient runoff. These same advantages are also directly linked to better water quality — which is why some farmers in the Hewitt Creek watershed of northeastern Iowa have been participating in a project that’s tracking how planting cover crops affects the health of local streams in the watershed. Jeff Pape, owner of Rubly Farms and chairman of the Hewitt Creek watershed council, is one farmer who has been testing cover crops on his land. He will host a field day in partnership with Iowa Learning Farms, Practical Farmers of Iowa and the Hewitt Creek Watershed Improvement Association on Wednesday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to noon, at his farm near Dyersville. The event — “Cover Crops in Hewitt Creek Watershed” — is free and will include a complimentary lunch. The field day is sponsored by KB Seed Solutions. Topics covered will include cover crops and soil health, cover crop management and strategies to reduce nutrient loss. Attendees will have a chance to learn about the history of the Hewitt Creek Watershed Project and opportunities for participation. The event will also feature talks by Jerry Hatfield, plant physiologist with the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment; Mike Castellano, assistant agronomy professor at Iowa State University; and area farmers participating in the Hewitt Creek Watershed Project. The field day site is located at Rubly Farm, one-half mile west of the intersection of Dyersville East Road and Pape Road, northeast of Dyersville. Iowa Learning Farms takes a grassroots approach offering innovative ways to help all Iowans have an active role in keeping our state’s natural resources healthy and not take them for granted. A goal of Iowa Learning Farms is to build a Culture of Conservation, encouraging the adoption of residue management and conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best in-field management practices that increase water and soil quality while remaining profitable. Iowa Learning Farms is a partnership between the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Iowa De- partment of Natural Resources (USEPA section 319), in cooperation with Conservation Districts of Iowa, the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Water Center.
