More soil organic matter improves soil health & can lead to increased crop yields. A 2015 CTIC survey of >1,200 U.S. farmers found cover crops boosted corn yields by an avg. of 3.66 bushel/ac & soybeans by an avg. of 2.19 bushel/ac.

Did you know that cover crops are good for soil microbial communities? It’s true. Check out these case studies from Canada 🇨🇦, Belgium 🇧🇪, and the United States 🇺🇸 to learn all about it. https://t.co/b2r2E3Ejob
