Cover Crop Workshop: Succeeding in Western New York Climate

December 22, 2015

Cover Crop Workshop: Succeeding in Western New York Climate

Get acquainted with the NY Soil Health Alliance: the farmers involved and their goals. Do they match your soil health goals? Members of the group will describe what worked and what didn't in their on-farm trials of inter-seeding into cash crops, seeding mixtures of cover crops, planting triticale for feed and a cover crop, and more. Did you attend the September 2nd WNY Soil Health Field Day at Dueppengiesser Dairy in Perry? See photos of how those inter-seeded cover crops grew through the fall. Last spring 79 other fields in Western NY and the Western Finger Lakes were sampled for the Cornell Soil Health Test. Come see how well they performed in a dozen physical, biological and chemical tests. A Rainfall Simulator will demonstrate how well-managed soils handle an inch of heavy rainfall compared to over-worked soils.

Coffee, donuts, cider and yogurt will be available.

Supported by the Genesee & Orleans Co. Soil & Water Conservation Districts

Upcoming Events

2026 Forage Congress

March 12, 2026
Nunda, NY

Due to the unprecedented winter storm that recently impacted travel conditions across the region and U.S., combined with extreme cold temperatures and associated safety concerns, Forage Congress was postponed out of an abundance of caution. This decision was made with the safety of our participants, speakers, staff, and venue partners as the highest priority.

 We are pleased to officially announce that Forage Congress has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 12, 2026, and will be held at The Nunda Ranch as originally planned.

Address: 2278-NY 436, Nunda, New York 14517

Sponsorship opportunities, vendor participation, and event registration are now open. We are excited to reconvene this important educational program and look forward to welcoming producers, industry partners, and speakers for a full day of applied, research-based forage systems programming.
