2026 No-Till & Cover Crop Conference
University of Vermont Extension and Northeast Cover Crops Council will jointly host the annual 2026 No-Till & Cover Crop Conference inviting farmers, technical advisers, Ag businesses and agencies, vegetable farmers, and consultants. Join us to hear from Illinois Crop Tech Consultant Ken Ferrie, as well as hear from Aaron Daigh from University of Nebraska – Lincoln on why compaction is essential to our farmers. Additional topics to include soil health, nutrient management with no-till and cover crops, the cutting edge of cover crops, and cover crop seed production.
New this year will include a second afternoon track specific for vegetable farmers. Vegetable farmers should join for the full day as the morning sessions will be relevant for all cover cropping practitioners. The afternoon vegetable track will include sessions on cover crops and equipment on veg farms for cover cropping, interseeding, and reduced tillage.
We will also have a Poster Presentation opportunity to get the word out about your cover crop and/or no-till work and research. Submit a poster by January 22, 2026. Contact Victoria Ackroyd (vackroyd@umd.edu) with any questions.
