To wrap up , we’re highlighting one of our most impactful efforts: the Cover Crop Incentive Program!

🌱 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - A total of 9,535 acres of cover crops were enrolled this season. Through available funding, 5,402 acres were incentivized, with $150,670 invested in soil health practices across the county.

🌾 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 - Farmers planted barley, rye, speltz, triticale, wheat, and multi-species mixes to protect soil and improve water quality. Of the acres incentivized, 3,371 will be harvested and 2,031 will be terminated to build organic matter.

💧 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 - Cover crops reduce erosion, improve soil health, suppress weeds, and keep nutrients out of waterways. This year’s plantings are estimated to reduce about 127,600 pounds of nitrogen, 4,200 pounds of phosphorus, and 2,100 tons of sediment.

Cover crops are a win for soil, water, and the future of local agriculture!
