What can the retail community do to promote cover crops to customers and find profit opportunities for companies as well? Be proactive in promoting change instead of reacting to it. This session will address cover crop challenges and opportunities from the retail and grower perspectives. Additional highlights include: (1) Incorporating the soil health/cover crops discussion into customer discussions on the farm; (2) Learning from customers that use cover crops and no-till; (3) Being a partner in the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) and learning how to work a host of different partners on a common goal; (4) How to arm farmers with an understanding that ag retailers can get involved.
This presentation is part of the 2017 National Conference on Cover Crops and Soil Health. Slide presentations and additional conference information is available at sare.org/covercropconference2017.
