Project Background
This agreement seeks to address and expand upon an important agronomic tool of using cover crops for soil health in agricultural production systems. The field tests will present state-specific examples of blended cover crops, display species-specific seasonal growth patterns, and acquire data addressing impacts on soil health and crop production. We anticipate the beneficiaries of this project to include row crop producers, cattle and other grazing animal producers, organic farmers, and horticultural researchers
