Strategies for Successful Cover Crop & Corn Management

Healthy Soil Might Be Easier to Detect by Sound than by Sight
How can you tell if your soil is healthy? Just listen to it. In this article, read about first-of-its-kind research which shows how "ecoacoustics" can help scientists monitor the health of soils — using underground critter concerts.

Biologicals — Why Focusing on Cover Crops & Soil Health Should Come First
In this video, Jesse from American Beef Ranch explains why even though biologicals can be a valuable resource for farmers, he feels that many growers would be better off focusing on planting cover crops and other regenerative ag practices to reinvigorate the biology that is already in the soil but needs to be reactivated from its dormant state.
No-Tilling Soybeans into a Cereal Rye Cover Crop
In this YouTube Short from Legacy Seeds, check out a field of no-till soybeans that is being planted into corn stubble as well as no-till soybeans planted into a cereal rye cover crop and the difference between the two fields.
