Rethinking cover crops: How purposeful cover crop planning and management can address site-specific agronomic goals

The purpose of the project is for Sustainable Chesapeake to build on research and Extension efforts to demonstrate, on working farms at the field scale, that there is not a one-size-fits-all cover crop and that cover cropping should involve significant planning with regards to site-specific factors and cover crop purpose. The project will involve a close working relationship with the farmer and agricultural service provider to plan, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of cover crops.
