Planting a perennial cover crop alongside annual row crops.
关于我们
We are RegenPGC* (“Regenerating America’s Working Landscapes to Enhance Natural Resources and Public Goods through Perennial Groundcover”), a transdisciplinary team of academic and industry scientists and engineers funded by USDA-NIFA. Our shared vision is to make year-round groundcover on working lands the norm, rather than the exception, for Midwestern US agriculture and beyond. Central to our approach is developing and de-risking perennial groundcover systems, where a perennial cover crop is planted once and then persists for multiple years alongside annual crops such as corn and soybean. By providing year-round groundcover, PGC can deliver multiple ecosystem services, including conserving soil resources, reducing nutrient export, enhancing carbon sequestration, and suppressing weeds, thereby reducing herbicide requirements. Compared to conventional cover cropping, a PGC approach has lower management requirements, which could facilitate the widespread adoption of cover cropping systems critical to achieving measurable differences in large-scale environmental issues.

RegenPGC knows this to be true -our Education Theme Leader, Dr. Ken Moore, is a "Giant of Progress in Forage and Grazinglands Agriculture." And now, everyone in the Tri Societies world knows this as well since Ken has now added to his distinguished resume a career award presented at the 2024 2024 ASA, CSSA, SSSA International Annual Meeting (Nov. 10-13, San Antonio, TX). Here is what his nominator Byron Sleugh (@Corteva Agrisciences) had to say: "In August 1995, I met a stranger who became teacher, mentor, and friend. Dr. Kenneth Moore was born in Phoenix, Arizona, June 6, 1957, graduated from Glendale Community College (1977) then completed his undergraduate degree in Agriculture at Arizona State (1979), and M.S. (1981) and Ph.D. (1983) at Purdue University in Agronomy. Ken’s career highlights include - assistant professor, University of Illinois (1983-1987) and New Mexico State University (1987-1989); @USDA-ARS, Lincoln Nebraska (1989-1993); Adjunct Associate Professor (1989-1993) and Adjunct Professor (1993-1995) of Agronomy, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; and Professor of Agronomy (1993-2011) and Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor in Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University (2011-present). Throughout his distinguished career, Ken taught 17 courses, advised 21 M.S. and 20 Ph.D. students, had 6 post docs, and advised clubs including SCUBA and Agronomy. He has taught 17 course and has a unique teaching approach that challenges students to learn, understand, and apply underlying principles. His scholarship spans forage-livestock systems, cropping systems, perennial crops as biomass feedstock, and forage quality and utilization and more with 201 journal publications, 71 proceedings, 3 books, 26 book chapters, and 6 books edited, including the 6th?and 7th?Editions of?Forages. Ken has been active in the Agronomy Society of America (President, 2007-2008) and Crop Science Society of America (Board of Directors (1990-1992, 2002-2005), C-6 Division Chair (1991-1992), Renaissance Initiative Coordinating Team (C235, 2000-2002), and President (2003-2004). He has served in editorial roles for special publications, Crop Science, Agronomy Journal, Crop Management, Plant Health Progress, Agronomy, and Crops. He contributed significantly to progress in forage and grassland agriculture and training the next generations of leaders. He is truly a scholar, teacher, mentor, and friend – and yes, a Giant of Progress in Forage and Grassland Agriculture."

Persistent drought in California and changing water use regulations present a challenge to almond orchards throughout the state of California. The need to use reduced water and try new methods to conserve water can feel overwhelming. Perennial cover crops offer a solution to these challenges by improving water infiltration and holding capacity in the soil. Join the Oakville Bluegrass Cooperative on December 5th to learn about the benefits of perennial cover crops for water conservation. Kelsey Fenn, UC Davis PhD Student will share how perennial cover crops can benefit soil water. Learn more about how Oakville bluegrass, a novel perennial cover crop with reverse season dormancy, can help your orchard conserve water. A short presentation will be followed by a Q&A. https://lnkd.in/gWBK96yb

Interesting observation. The corn residue on the perennial side of the plot is going away faster than the non perennial side. Plant development and size were the same. I think there is more worm activity this fall were the perennials have been established for a number of years. The downside is that the worms (and or slugs) have wiped out the white clover

What a wonderful tribute to Ken Moore, distinguished education and leader of our @RegenPGC Education Theme.
The Tri-Society Conference is always a highlight of the year, offering students, researchers, and professors a unique opportunity to share knowledge and insights. This year, I was honored to present my research to such a distinguished audience, and the positive feedback affirmed that I was on the right path. What made this event especially meaningful was witnessing my professor, Dr. Ken Moore, receive a well-deserved career recognition for his exceptional contributions to agriculture, specifically in Forage and Grazing lands. Dr. Moore’s recognition speaks to his dedication to his field and students. Dr. Moore is more than just a professor—he’s a mentor, teacher, and father figure. He helps shape our academic and personal growth, offering unwavering support and care. His influence reaches beyond his graduate students, as his mentorship extends to all fortunate to learn from him. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to grow under his guidance. RegenPGC

Alioune Diop (Iowa State University), a member of our Graduate Education Community had this to say after attending his first Tri-Societies meeting and presenting his research poster: “I had a great time meeting and presenting my research to a diverse community of professionals and researchers in academia. Additionally, receiving feedback was highly enriching for our ongoing research with 15N-labeled isotopes.” Check out Alioune’s poster at?https://lnkd.in/g-5SaJQQ Learn more about our Graduate Education Community at https://lnkd.in/gwYxHbDX Iowa State University Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Iowa State University - College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Iowa State University
