Jeremy Gustafson is a lifetime member of Practical Farmers of Iowa who farms just outside of Boone, Iowa, raising corn and soybeans and cover cropping extensively with cereal rye. He also has a pumpkin enterprise called Gustafson Family Pumpkin Patch. Jeremy plants cover crops on corn, soy and pumpkin ground to minimize soil loss. At this field day, Jeremy will show his planter set-up to highlight how you can adapt your current machinery for planting cover crops. You’ll also see how cover crops are used in the pumpkin, corn and soybean fields, and how the practice benefits all three crops.
