Technical and financial assistance is available for farms interested in incorporating cover crops into their cropping systems. Cover crops are planted after primary crops (vegetables, corn, soybeans, etc.) are harvested. They not only reduce erosion potential, they can improve soil health and store unused nutrients for the next crop year, just to name a few of the many benefits. Contact the Cortland County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) office at (607) 756-5991 by Friday, September 18th to find out how we can help you implement this practice.
