One of the cornerstones of regenerative agriculture is to have plants growing in the soil for as many days of the year as possible. While today’s agronomic practices are predominately based on using annual cash crops, it is an opportunity to get cover cropping into the management fold.
Iowa farmers Jack Boyer and Dick Sloan wanted to learn about different strategies for incorporating cover crops on their farms: be it cover crop species other than winter small grains or seeding cover crops in the summer rather than post-harvest in the fall.
Harvest has not quite started yet in most parts of the U.S., but it will be here soon. That means that many growers are also gearing up for seeding cover crops after harvest is completed.
