Benefits of Cover Crops
Cover crops are an excellent solution to improve soil quality and fertility. Results include:
- Improved biological, chemical, and physical soil properties
- Protection from soil erosion and runoff and increased infiltration
- Prevention of harmful soil diseases and pests
- Provision of food and habitat to wildlife, beneficial insects, and pollinators
In addition to boosting soil nutrients, cover crops produce harvested and grazed forage for your livestock’s growth and development. Farmers and ranchers have adopted cover crops for various new uses, including increased forage in dairy corn silage fields. Seeds are planted right after the corn silage is cut to support soil moisture and prepare crops for fall conditions.
