| just ran across a great collection of cover crop info on the South Dakota NRCS website... I have looked at some of these materials before but didn't realize they had all been assembled in one place... some of the info is clearly only relevant to the Dakotas (or places with a similar climate) but there is lot of widely applicable information.
Great job to the NRCS folks (and farmers) in SD that are doing pioneering work with cover crops.
here is a link to the main page:
