Lots of folks are saying we need to dramatically expand our cover crop acreage in an effort to improve soil health. But if this is going to happen over the next few years, the most effective way depends on many more farmers switching to no-tillage.
Betsy Wieland has recently joined the NCR-SARE team as the Associate Director, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise in agricultural education and administration.
