Cover crops, with their ability to reduce erosion and promote soil health, are being planted across more Midwestern land than ever. In recent years, this strategy has become a valuable trend with the added benefit of increasing crop productivity. So, it’s no surprise that new University of Illinois research shows cover crop adoption reached 7.2 percent in 2021, up from just 1.8 percent a decade prior.
