What will you gain from covering your soil?
All over the nation, farmers like you are finding that cover crops—especially multi-species cover crops—can drive meaningful change on the farm.
And it all starts with the soil.
Cover crops build healthy soil
When you follow the Six Principles of Soil Health
-
Principle: Keep the Soil Covered
Cover crops protect the soil
Bare soil is vulnerable to erosion, water loss, and temperature extremes. By keeping it covered with growing plants and the residue they leave behind, you’ll protect the soil against erosion and insulate it from severe heat and cold.
-
Principle: Minimize Soil Disturbance
Cover crops can help reduce soil disturbance
When incorporated into a no-till system, cover crops build soil structure and suppress weeds, reducing the need for tillage and chemicals.
-
Principle: Living Roots as Often As Possible
Cover crops protect the soil
Life recruits life. Keeping living roots in the ground keeps your microbiology fed and flourishing.
-
Principle: Integrate Livestock
Cover crops provide forage for livestock integration
Integrating livestock naturally fertilizes the ground and feeds beneficial microbes. Using cover crops as forage gets livestock into row crop fields, mimicking the soil building buffalo herds of the Great Plains.
-
Principle: Maximize Biodiversity
Cover crops enable you to maximize diversity
By adding multiple plant species, you get a diversity of roots, blooms, nutrients and you have a more resilient crop than any single species.
-
Principle: Know Your Context
In order to truly regenerate your soil, you have to know your context

We’re farmers too, witnessing the benefits of regenerative farming
Green Cover sprouted in 2008, when brothers Keith and Brian Berns experimented with cover crops on their family farm. They observed and experienced how diverse cover crop mixes leverage the biological processes that God designed into creation and Green Cover was launched to make cover crop seed available to other farmers.
Today, Green Cover is still family owned and operated. We grow, clean, mix, and deliver cover crop seed directly to agricultural producers across the United States and Canada.
Our purpose is to help people regenerate, steward, and share God’s creation for future generations.
