CTIC Cover Crop Coach Program Seeking New Farmer-Leaders in Upper Midwest
CTIC News
Coaches will help CTIC implement its 137,000-acre goal as part of the Farmers for Soil Health cover crop incentive program.
As part of our mission, CTIC prioritizes farmer-led perspectives and technical assistance because we know farmers need a sounding board from other farmers who have the same challenges with weather, soil, and other geographic variables. We have a plan for that.
CTIC’s Cover Crop Coaches are working 1:1 with farmers to discuss real-world solutions to successfully integrate cover crops in our Farmers for Soil Health program area of Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. As a Coach, you will organize and host a field day, visit with enrolled farmers, and help the CTIC team with exhibiting, outreach, and speaking opportunities.
We are committed to empowering farmers to make choices that benefit their agronomic and financial operations as well as the natural resources on their farms. Whether producers are looking to drive yield enhancements with better soil health, weed suppression, and infiltration; to reduce erosion and nutrient runoff; or to enhance your grazing pastures, our Coaches provide guidance to find the right operational fit for cover crop implementers.
Farmers for Soil Health is a farmer-driven initiative that provides incentives and technical assistance for cover crops. It is backed by the National Corn Growers Association, United Soybean Board, and the National Pork Board. The CTIC Cover Crop Coach program is supported by General Mills.
