    The Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts hosted a series of Soil Health & Cover Crop workshops in the summer of 2019. A total of 136 attendees participated in four workshops held in Sycamore, Galesburg, Decatur, and Mt. Vernon. The purpose of these regional training sessions was to help foster greater adoption of cover crops and the implementation of the principles leading to increased soil health by agricultural producers across Illinois through a cover crop insurance rewards program.
