Project Background
The goals of this project are: 1) Demonstrate and quantify cover crop seeding rate impact on forage production, crop production, and soil health in no-till wheat and no-till cotton cropping systems; 2) Demonstrate seeding rate and seeding methods of cover/forage crops in integrated livestock-cropping systems on forage availability and soil health; 3) Provide education to stakeholders by disseminating information through field demonstrations, technical reports, and/or NRCS showcase events.
