Join Nathan Lowder from the NRCS Soil Health Division for a practical and in-depth webinar focused on how cover crops can be used to address common resource concerns and enhance soil health across the Southeast. This session breaks down the many agronomic and environmental benefits of cover crops, from erosion control and nutrient cycling to pest management and livestock integration. Participants will learn how to identify cover crop species by plant functional group, align cover crop strategies with producer objectives, and successfully manage cover crops in real-world farming systems.
The webinar also explores the 340 Cover Crop Conservation Practice Standard, timing and methods for seeding, residue and moisture management, legume inoculation, herbicide carryover, and key economic considerations. With practical guidance tailored to southern cropping systems and seeding windows, this training equips conservation planners with the knowledge they need to build resilient, diverse, and productive systems alongside the producers they serve.
In this webinar, NRCS Soil Health Division’s Nathan Lowder guides conservation planners and ag professionals through the fundamentals of cover crop selection and management. Learn how to use cover crops to reduce erosion, improve nutrient cycling, support beneficial insects, and integrate livestock—all while aligning with producer goals and existing cropping systems. Tailored for the Southeastern U.S., this session offers practical tools and insights to make cover crops a valuable part of any conservation plan.
