As much as we hate to jump into this cliché... it depends on what an individual farmer wants to do. Go to www.regenpgc.org/faq/ and, after a short read, tell us why you might make this choice on your land. #farming #agriculture #covercrops

Why indeed? Everyone knows change is hard. Adopting new ways to improve agriculture by introducing perennial groundcover to row crop production requires a willingness to challenge assumptions about how we farm. www.regenpgc.org/faq/

It’s amazing what you can accomplish in a summer. Kaylee Johnson is living proof of that. She spent the summer in Ames researching “How do Sulfur and Cereal Rye Affect Corn & Soybean Growth,” supervised by her mentor, Dr. Richard Roth. Check out her work at www.regenpgc.org/wp-content/u...
