HARTINGTON — The 2026 Bow Creek Field Day will be June 17, at the Skylon Ballroom, Hartington, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
The 2026 field day will focus on adding summer annual forages and small grains into the rotation. Paul Jasa, UNL Cropping and Systems Engineer (ret.) will discuss the benefits of changing up the rotation with an annual forage and small grains. Benefits may include reduced expenses in the current year and multi-year increase in water and nutrient efficiency. For diverse farm/ranch operations benefits to summer pasture from grazing summer annual forages may include drought mitigation, increased grass production in pastures, and increased animal health. Technical information on species selection, planting dates and rates, grazing techniques, and other practical information from experienced producers will be presented during the field portion of the day.
This no-cost event is hosted by the Lewis & Clark NRD and supported by funding from Water Sustainability Fund and NDWEE 319 Program.
