“Beyond the Hype”, Session #41 at SouthWest Agricultural Conference

Soils at Guelph Outreach and Communications Coordinator Cameron Ogilvie joins a panel discussion with Anne Loeffler, Tori Waugh, and Marty Vermey to discuss the economic realities of what works in cover cropping.

The panel will look at:

• the costs and revenue associated with implementing cover crops
• returns from erosion control and water quality improvements
• the value as part of an herbicide resistant weed control program
• management of cover crops to reduce risk
• the value of nutrients captured and returned
• how cover crops pay with forage or grazing
• incentive payments that reduce establishment costs
