Two Arguments for Late Season Cover Crops

This podcast was funded in part by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC.

This episode features two compelling arguments for the use of cover crops in field crop or vegetable production. In the first segment, we’ll learn about a Fraser Valley Dairy Farmer’s experience with planting a relay cover crop once his silage corn is established, and the benefits he’s realized from that effort.

After that, an Agriculture & Agri-food Canada researcher will tell us why it is so very important, if not imperative, that BC’s field crop and veggie farmers start including cover cropping in their weed management plans.
