Selecting the correct cover crop for the plot of land can assist producers in several ways. Andy Luke, Agronomy Specialist with the University of Missouri Extension says the goal for the land will help determine the correct cover.
Luke says once you have identified the goal of the cover crop, the choices become clear.
When the type of cover crop has been selected, you need to determine the best time and method of planting. For more information on using Cover Crops on your farm, contact your local extension office. In Chillicothe, call 646-0811.
