Take a look at how we bring the textbook definition of soil health to real life agriculture using cover crops following corn silage. Brian reviews the cover crop in the spring and discusses/shows how the objectives are being met. He showcases rye rooting depth early in the growing season. This cover crop evaluation was conducted on April 24th.
