managing cover crops profitably
“Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You’ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, because their benefits accumulate over the long term.
