Episode Synopsis

Jeff Endres of Endres Berryridge Farms near Waunakee, WI, shares his experience with no-till alfalfa seeding into winter rye. The Endres' have been exploring the concept of planting green in their alfalfa seeding process. Over the past several years, they have successfully implemented a no-till seeding method for alfalfa into winter rye. This method has resulted in a decrease in herbicide use on newly seeded acres and has demonstrated effective erosion control, even during significant storm events in the spring.Local resources for no-till alfalfa:https://demofarms.danecounty.gov/Case-StudiesYahara Pride Farms:www.yaharapridefarms.orgDane Demo Farms and Endres Berryridge Farmshttps://demofarms.danecounty.gov/Endres
