Green Cover Team

This article was written by the Green Cover Team. Made up of farmers and cover crop specialists spread across multiple states, team members have hands-on experience in everything from row crop farming and ranching to animal husbandry, seed industry experience, and low-rainfall dryland production. Each year we run extensive cover crop trials on our farm in Bladen, Nebraska, testing hundreds of species, varieties and mixes to understand what actually works in the field. Together, we've spent decades helping growers in all 50 states find the right cover crop mix for their land.
