ITHACA, N.Y. — The Northeast Cover Crops Council (NECCC) was recently formed by a group comprised of farmers and representatives from NGOs, the ag industry, government agencies including USDA NRCS and USDA ARS, and universities. The mission of the NECCC is to support the successful implementation of cover crops to maximize economic, environmental, and social benefits. We facilitate regional collaboration between farmers, researchers, and the public to foster the exchange of information, inspiration, and outcome-based research.
The 2017 NECCC meeting will be held November 8th and 9th at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. The event is open to the public and will feature panels, presentations, and posters related to cover crops.
