The Cover Crop Breeding Network breeds fall-sown cover crops for traits like fall emergence, winter survival, spring vigor, high biomass, hard seed, and non-shattering pods. Join us to walk the trial fields, talk about what we’re seeing (and not seeing), hear about past years’ results, and learn about CCB lines approaching commercialization.
• Advanced line trials – Crimson clover, hairy vetch, winter pea, and winter canola
• Planting date trials – Cereal rye and winter pea
• Breeding nurseries – Cereal rye and winter pea (across the road & optional!)
