Curious about cover crops and the ecosystem services they offer? @LauraVanEerd et al. recently reviewed the literature, highlighting barriers and future directions for North America. #CoverCrops #EcosystemBenefits

Thanks to @LauraVanEerd for her introduction to some of the research on-going at Ridgetown. Long-term cover crop trial (est. 2007) showing some powerful visuals in 2023. No N applied to corn - long-term cover crop showing visibly larger & healthier plants.

Hey #OntAg, does anyone know someone who grows corn or soy on clay loam soils (green on the map) in South Eastern Halton? Looking for those on Oneida, Chinguacousy or other clay loams for Free Soil Health sampling. greenbelt.ca/greenbelt_soil_… for more details.
Dr. Laura Van Eerd retweeted
Additionally, anyone farming corn or soy in Southeastern Caledon on King, Oneida, Chinguacousy or Cooksville clay loams (green below). We need good representation from these soil types in our sampling project. We handle all the work, just need the sites.
