Increasing Soil Health With Cover Crops
Monday, May 5, 2025 • 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
332 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23457
This field demonstration is being held for farmers to learn about incorporating cover crops on their farm, which in turn means healthy crops. Participants will learn how to begin the Spiral of Soil Health, creating healthy soil in order for plants to have better uptake of nutrients which is essential for the highest potential growth, ability to withstand or resist drought, and to retain topsoil by reducing erosion, as well as learn how it sustains agricultural practices and our ability to provide food for the future.
Please join us to discover how four trial cover crops may affect your farm's soil health.
