🌱 Time for farmers to consider how and when to terminate cover crops. It’s important to weigh the trade-offs and choose what works best for your operation. ✅ The Cover Crop Portal (covercrops.ces.ncsu.edu) is a great resource to help you make informed decisions. #CoverCrops

In NC, delaying cover crop termination may not mean more biomass. NC State research found cereal rye often had similar biomass whether killed 1 month before or at soybean planting. youtu.be/RK0ev3t-kpU?si… content.ces.ncsu.edu/termination-ti… #CoverCrops #SustainableAg #NCStateExtension
