Cover crops can keep soil and nutrients in place, suppress weeds, and fix nitrogen, but they can also use too much water or create a mess of rotting plant material if not terminated properly.
On this episode of The Agronomists, host Lyndsey Smith is joined by Kevin Elmy with Cover Crops Canada, Jim McComb with the Farmer’s Edge Agri-Coaching, and Jake Munroe with Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness to discuss terminating covers — what’s the harm in waiting? Is spring better than fall? What tools are best, and what do you do when Mother Nature doesn’t kill annuals?
This episode of The Agronomists is brought to you by Farm Safety Roundup, the Canola School, and Farming Forward.
