We may be biased but our steering group member @tjcsimpson is hosting THE event of the summer for those wanting to see the success and failures from a range of catch crops, summer and winter cover crops.

@tjcsimpson has been so inspiring that I’m going to become a Cover Crop Champion for @AHDB_Cereals @Izzyeames1 and apparently I get a cape! Great catching up with @sea2soil and @bleating_lamb and thanks for another chance to harass @IntegratedSoils!

@TheGreenFarmCo1 Great thread here on summer cover crops, which many will be opting for on the back of continued poor spring weather, setting fields up for a huge soil health boost and a great autumn sown cash crop

@golfnshoot @louis_phipps @CoverCropsGuide We’ve not been able to do so either. It’ll be interesting drilling into quite dense material. Watch this space.🤞

Louis Phipps@louis_phipps·1 Mar

Cover crop folk, pls help. We haven't managed to spray off our cover crops & we couldn't graze them due to dog walkers. Should I still try and spray off ASAP, or wait until just before drilling (if conditions ever improve)? Mainly linseed, phacelia, vol barley. @CoverCropsGuide

#covercrops not as massive this year, mainly due to the radish never getting going. However, this has given the berseem #clover an opportunity to flourish. Addition of linseed was a good move too. The value of a mix! ⁦@SustainableLsps⁩ ⁦@YorkshireWater⁩ #soilhealth

“By working with farmers in vulnerable catchments both water companies hope to mitigate diffuse nitrate leaching to add long-term resilience to water supply” Great to see these cover crops initiatives working for all involved, do we need more like this? Who’s involved in one?

ADAS@ADASGroup

Results of the Nitrogen Release from Cover Crops #NiCCs project with @AffinityWater & @PortsmouthWater are live! ✅Cover crops cut nitrate leaching by up to 90% ✅Cereal yield following cover crop ⬆️ 0.2- 1 t/ha ✅Soil N supply increased by up to 35kg N/ha adas.co.uk/news/results-p…
