What We've Learned About Cover Crops: A Farmer-to-Farmer Discussion

In this farmer-to-farmer webinar, Stephen Kraszewski of Mason Farms Produce in Maryland and Monte Bottens of Bottens Family Farm and Grateful Graze in Illinois share their experiences using cover crops across their diverse farming operations. They discuss practical approaches to cover crop establishment and management, lessons learned through years of on-farm experience and research, and the role cover crops can play in erosion control, weed management, forage and overall farm resilience. Farmers for Soil Health (FSH) is an initiative led by the Soy Checkoff, Pork Checkoff, and National Corn Growers Association, which advances the use of soil health practices like 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.
