Cover Crop Management During a Strong El Niño

In this webinar, DTN meteorologist John Baranick discusses the key weather factors shaping the fall and winter seasons as a building El Niño is forecast to become one of the strongest on record. He explains how El Niño may influence regional weather patterns and what those conditions could mean for cover crop establishment, management, and decision-making heading into the 2027 growing season. Farmers for Soil Health (FSH) is an initiative led by the Soy Checkoff, Pork Checkoff, and National Corn Growers Association that advances soil health practices such as cover crops to help improve farmer profitability. This video is part of the FSH education series supported by the Soil Health Institute (SHI) and the Center for Regenerative Agriculture (CRA) at the University of Missouri.
