SOIL HEALTH PARTNERSHIP RELEASES 2019 COVER CROP REPORT
Earlier this month, the Soil Health Partnership (SHP) released its 2019 Cover Crop Planting Report. SHP conducted a cover crop survey with SHP farmer partners about their cover crop use on trial sites in the fall of 2019.
SHP’s report shows that farmers are using diverse strategies to plant cover crops and a variety of plant species to accomplish their soil health goals.
The objective is to do this annually and use the data to further analyze how cover crops impact soil health, agronomic outcomes, and farmer profitability.
