  • August 8th 2024 - Cafe Chat 11AM - 1:30PM at Duffy's Riverside Salooon, 110 Front Street, Redwood Falls, MN 56283. Could implementing practices like cover crops and no-till on your farm work for you and your bottom line? What if you could get paid to do it? Enjoy a meal and conversation with area farmers and your Soil Water Conservation District on Thursday, August 8 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Duffy’s in Redwood Falls. Lunch is on us! Phil and Robin Smith (Renville County) will share their experience in transitioning the family farm to no-till corn, soybeans, winter cereal rye, and year-round cover crops. Renville County Soil Water Conservation District staff will also present a unique opportunity for farmers in participating counties (including Renville and Redwood) to receive $100 per acre or animal unit to implement common conservation practices through the Alliance to Advance Climate Smart Agriculture Pilot program. Applications for this program are open July 15-August 16, 2024, so this is a great time to get the scoop. There will be plenty of time for discussion. Bring your questions and an appetite!
