Keeping soil covered
Bare soil is vulnerable to erosion and nutrient loss. Cover crops such as cereal rye, clover and radish keep living roots in the ground between cash crops.
Those roots feed soil microbes, build organic matter and improve the soil’s ability to hold water.
Choosing the right mix
The best cover crop depends on your rotation, climate and goals. Grasses are great for erosion control, legumes add nitrogen and brassicas help break up compaction.
