Cover Crops in Montana: Research Experience - Perry Miller

This session is the final chapter in Tuesday’s soil health journey, taking participants across the country to explore how soil health practices are implemented in various climates and productions systems. Session highlights include: a look at how cover crops are used in Florida in specialty crop systems; an understanding of how the cropping conditions on the Southern Plains shape the culture of agriculture and the opportunities for soil health practice adoption there; discussion of one farmer’s philosophy about how “nothing we do is for today” and how that applies to soil health practices.
