Marie Davis will be hosting a Field Day demon strating grain production tech niques and equipment that enable him to reduce the use of chemical inputs. The field day will be held at the Mark Davis Farm, Dover, on Sept 9 from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Davis has been experimenting with planting no-till com into stands of hairy vetch and crimson clover. He uses a high residue cul tivator for controlling weeds in com and soybeans. Davis has also tried different methods of establishing fall cover crops. He harvests his own hairy vetch seed to minimize the seed cost for this legume. In addition to the practices implemented by Davis, the field day will also include discussions by Dr. Bill Mitchell on the use of hairy vetch, Ralph Timmons from the Soil Conservation Service on cover crops, and Dr. Ed Jones from Delaware State University on making sustainable agriculture milk per ton of silage fed* J* 1 ..."
