Cover crops are an important step to improve water quality and soil health. Even though most of us know the importance of this, it can be an intimidating process to begin, not to mention an expensive one if not done properly. These two factors have caused reluctance for many farmers. Luckily for us, in this episode, TJ Kartes shares his cover crop expertise and walks us through the Do's and Don'ts of getting started with a cover crop plan. That's the key word, PLAN! Begin working on your cover crop program now so you don't get caught with naked soil this fall!
