Feeding the Soil: Cover crops, crop rotations and more!

Join us for a webinar with Dr. Marshall McDaniel, a soil scientist whose work explores how agricultural management practices shape soil health. Dr. McDaniel will share insights from his research on crop rotations and cover crops, including how these practices influence soil carbon, soil nitrogen, and microbial biomass. He will also touch on his work with perennial groundcovers in corn and corn/soybean systems, discussing their potential as a long-term cover crop strategy and what it takes to manage them effectively.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how cover crops and diversified rotations build soil health, the latest research on perennial groundcover systems, and considerations for applying these practices on their own operations. Bring your questions and join us for a data-driven look at the belowground benefits of sustainable agriculture.

This webinar is offered through Farmers for Soil Health, an initiative designed to increase cover crop adoption by providing technical assistance, financial incentives, and educational resources. Whether you are new to cover crops or looking to refine your approach, these sessions will provide practical insights that can be applied in the field.
