The 5th edition of the Soil Health Resource Guide opens with Green Cover's story — founded by Keith and Brian Berns in 2009 on family ground in Bladen, Nebraska, now one of the leading cover crop seed providers in the world. Ten Years of Soil Health and an Introduction to Regenerative Agriculture set the stage, followed by the principles of soil health and two dozen Soil Health in Practice articles — poly cropping, interseeding into perennials, grassfed beef, wildlife, quorum sensing in the microbiome, and nitrogen as a double-edged sword. The guide closes with the SmartMix Calculator, cover crop mixes, and detailed species information for legumes, grasses, brassicas, broadleaves, and perennials.
