Have you spotted any tractors busy seeding harvest Have you spotted any tractors busy seeding harvested fields lately? While it might seem unusual to be planting in the fall, they're actually seeding cover crops! 🚜🌾 Cover crops play a crucial role in protecting farm soils through the winter months. They help prevent erosion caused by wind and rain, keeping that precious, nutrient-rich topsoil intact. 🌱💪 So next time you see those tractors, you’ll know they’re hard at work ensuring healthier soils for the coming season! #CoverCrops #SustainableFarming #SoilConservation #FarmLife #WinterFarming #SoilHealth

🫐The Blueberry Rest Program supports growers wi 🫐The Blueberry Rest Program supports growers with bare soil following the removal of blueberry bushes. An annual cover crop is planted in the fall after blueberry plants have been removed. It is left to cover the soil over the winter, and then worked up the following spring. Payments are provided to participants to offset the costs of this practice. 🚜This program aims to prepare soil for future blueberry plantings, allowing participants to strategically plan for future goals, source appropriate new varieties and resist the urge to replant immediately following the removal of blueberry bushes. While acres remain out of production, cover crop plantings will reduce the spread of scorch within infected fields. ✨Applications are still open for the 2024 Blueberry Rest Cover Crop Program. Visit our website to apply.
