Considerations for Selecting a Cover Crop Species

Описание: The increasing number of cover crop species available to farmers has a lot of benefits, but it can make selecting the right species for your farm a challenge. This video breaks down six considerations that growers can make to help narrow down and select the cover crop species that works for them.
This video also showcases the Cover Crop Selector (covercrop-selector.org) from Precision Sustainable Agriculture (https://www.precisionsustainableag.org/). This online tool allows farmers to sort through cover crops species based on their specific location and farm characteristics.
