Cover Crops Demonstration Plots at Juniperdale Farm

Cover crops offer an opportunity to reduce erosion, increase organic matter and fix nitrogen for the following crop. The trick is incorporating them into an already full rotation. Visit our cover crop demonstration at Juniperdale Farms November 19th at 3 pm to see fifteen cover crops and combinations. Cover crops were planted at two planting dates to allow us to compare the benefits of early and late planting.This project is part of a statewide collaberation where cover crops were planted at 11 locations.
