So there are so many opportunities and reasons for cover crops beyond fertility…

-Can you share what type of cover you are using this fall

-if the cover seed is drilled or broad cast seeded,

-what crop do you like it to follow and

-what is/are its purposed (in your perspective.

And of course when will you or if you will incorporate into soil?

 

I think this is important and unique info in the world of organic and it would be great to start gathering a list of the top 50 cover crops preferred or tried by Michigan organic farmers. So please share your ideas.

Thanks
