Cover crops have exploded the last week and the projected forecast is looking dry for much of the Midwest. If I had green cover growing and recently planted corn/soy or will plant soon I would terminate covers ASAP if worried about conserving soil moisture.

We appreciate all the producers & agronomists that collaborated on this project!

I visualized the responses from a recently conducted cover crop survey for farmers participating in the county cost-share program in Chippewa County, WI. Fun seeing the variety of approaches and motivation for #covercrop adoption happening locally!
It’s #CoverCrop season & here is a great @UWNPM Extension publication led by @KolbyCoverCrops:

Great article from @UNLNateDorsey, @UNLWeedSci@agtechluan on combine cleaning. Had the chance to spend a fun week teaching combine cleaning earlier summer with this team. Preventing Weed Seed Distribution from Combines from @UNL_Cropwatch https://t.co/G45ie3hu9M
@sethnaeve Overheard a few farmers in northern WI talking about this yesterday. Thought is to harvest earlier and get more time to seed a cover crop. Would your recommendation be to avoid the practice altogether or wait until a later growth stage?
With #harvest22 around the corner, here's that friendly reminder that combines are THE MOST effective weed seed dispersal agents out there!
Start from weed free areas & clean the machine as often as possible.

Enjoying these realistic takes on soil health! This aligned well with what we experience in Wisconsin with trying to use no-till and cover crops to fine-tune systems to address common issues of compaction, drainage, and erosion. If managed incorrectly, productivity can be lost.
Fine-tuning WATER USE with soil health:
Climate determines the size of water-related effects.
Irrigation diminishes those effects.
