Introduction: Exploring the Benefits of Cover Crops

June 21, 2018 Video

Let’s be honest, most of the focus of the soil health movement has been on bigger farming operators. We’re here to buck that trend! We’ve partnered up with the USDA-NRCS in South Carolina to feature a diverse group of S.C. farmers (row crop, vegetable, cattle conventional, organic, you name it) who have each agreed to cover five acres of their land in cover crops for the next three years. So how’s it going so far? Well, in the first several months, we’ve already begun to see soils and mindsets change – and we’re just getting started! Follow along with us to watch these stories unfold and to find out the lessons learned along the way!
