This project aimed to promote the implementation of cover crops and no-till on acres that have had manure application with the goal of reducing the loss of nitrogen, phosphorus, and soil and improving soil health. Working with producers, the project set up demonstration sites and field days as well as small scale farmer-to-farmer meetings to create opportunities to share knowledge of first-hand experiences related to small grains, cover crops, and cropland conversion to pasture. The field days and meetings helped educate producers and landowners about the economics and erosion associated with cropping steep, marginal cropland with the goal of converting it to pasture or hayland. Work was also done to promote the addition of a small grain to a corn-soybean rotation and educate landowners and producers about how conservation provisions included in farm leases can help to encourage and facilitate conservation practice implementation.
