This update is from Rob Myers, regional director for extension programs with the Department of Agriculture’s Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, also known as SARE.
Myers provides details about the recent National Cover Crop Survey report. The report details how cover crops are aiding growers to increase yield and improve soil health. Since 2012, SARE, in conjunction with the Conservation Technology Information Center and American Seed Trade Association have periodically conducted a national survey of farmers on their experiences with cover crops.
