Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow the ink to a podcast from Cover Crop Strategies in
no-till systems which features an interview with Nathan Johanning,
Commercial Agriculture Educator, University of Illinois.

Johanning discusses the soil health benefits provided by cover crops,
challenges growers may encounter when using covers to improve soil quality,
how cover crops enhance the physical and biological properties of soil, and
more.
Thank you Sarah Hill for sharing.

Apologies for any cross-posting.

*Conservation Agriculture is an ecological approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and ecosystem management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover
crops).* *These
practices are complemented with other good agricultural production and land
management practices.* *Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, *
