If you are a Wisconsin farmer looking to plant cover crops this fall, you could see more financial support through the Farmers for Soil Health program. Farmers can enroll whether they are trying cover crops for the first time or have used the conservation practice for years. “These updates more accurately reflect on-farm costs and the agronomic value of cover crops,” West explained. “It also reflects Farmers for Soil Health’s commitment to supporting row-crop farmers interested in adopting conservation practices that improve soil health and long-term farm resilience.” Cover crops are planted between cash crop seasons to help reduce soil erosion, improve water infiltration, build soil organic matter, and suppress weeds.
