The participant will learn about the transition to cover crops, an economics method for assessing the on-farm value of cover crops, and criteria for judging a case study.
Cover crops are increasingly popular, but can they be profitable in the first year? And what’s the true cost of cover crop adoption? In this webinar you’ll learn some remarkable facts and figures from a farmer who conducted his own on-farm test comparing cover crop with no cover crop for corn and soybeans.
