Description
Spanish translation included.
Many of us have been using cover crops for years, but are we maximizing the potential of this practice? Here, we will learn more details about how cover crops are used in vineyards, including over-seeding to add diversity and current research on under-vine trials in Southern Oregon. Finally, we will hear about USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) cost-share programs that support cover-cropping and pollinator habitat in our region.
