Love 'em or hate 'em, we want to know what you think about cover crops: ctic.org/news/farmer-fe…

Hairy vetch is often used in cover crop mixes as it provides significant nitrogen fixation and grows well in early spring to outcompete weeds. While hairy vetch provides lots of surface cover and residue, it breaks down quickly because of its high nitrogen content.

Nutrient stewardship with @Crop_Nutrition is the focus for this afternoon's webinar, as we get ready for the Conservation in Action Tour in N.C. Join us, 3 E/2 C: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
