At Green Cover, we’re passionate about soil health education. We believe that improved soil health in agriculture is the key to regenerating God’s creation for future generations. If we’re going to be good stewards of the soil, we need to start with education. We trust that these resources will be a help to you on your regenerative journey!
Every year, we release a new version of the Soil Health Resource Guide. Each guide is chock full of original articles from producers, experts, and innovators in soil health and regenerative agriculture.
Every other week, we send out an email newsletter that covers 1 soil health topic, 2 soil health success stories, and 3 soil health learning opportunities. It’s a great way to have excellent soil health content delivered right to you on a regular basis.
Green Cover regularly hosts webinars with regenerative producers and soil health experts. Sign up for an upcoming webinar or browse our extensive collection of past webinar recordings.

Our YouTube channel has everything from presentations, field tours to in-depth conversations with soil health experts. We also host recordings of our webinar series on Youtube. Check out our videos to learn more about how cover crops can improve your farming practices.
