The webinar, led by Nathan Lowder from the NRCS Soil Health Division, offers an in-depth overview of cover crop management as part of a broader soil health strategy. It outlines the benefits of cover crops, including erosion control, improved nutrient cycling, enhanced soil biology, and increased organic matter. The presentation explains how to select cover crop species based on functional groups (cool/warm season grasses and broadleaves, legumes), as well as considerations for timing, seeding methods, termination strategies, and compatibility with producer goals. The session also discusses practical planning tools, equipment, economic factors, seed quality, and state-level guidance to help conservation planners effectively support producers in integrating cover crops into their operations.
