About this episode

The episode discusses how no-tilling and using cover crops can mitigate the impact of high nitrogen prices for farmers.

If you’re no-tilling and seeding cover crops, you’re in a much better position to deal with higher nitrogen (N) prices than many other growers. That’s because cover crops can provide up to 100 pounds per acre of N you don’t have to buy.
