On Thursday, February 8, 2018, the District hosted a Cover Crop Workshop.  Nearly 50 participants learned about the role cover crops play in preventing nonpoint source pollution.  Cover crop species were discussed.  Proper use of pesticides, application timings and techniques were some of the additional topics.  These topics enabled attendees to earn pesticide credits. Representatives from NRCS and FSA presented information on funding opportunities.   

Presenters included Megan Whitlatch - JCCD; Brian Ishman - TA Seeds, Nicole Santangelo - Penn State Extension; Rachel Milliron - Penn State Extension; Suzanne Klinger - NRCS and Mike Kerr - Farm Service Agency.
