Indiana farmer Rodney Rulon and Indiana USDA-NRCS State Conservationist Jerry Raynor discuss Rodney's presentation on the economics of soil health.
According to Rulon, the cost of cover crops is often presented as a long term investment - however, he says he has seen a response almost immediately. "A lot of times we will get enough yield benefit to more than pay for the cover crop - right in the very first year."
Raynor and Rulon also discuss the technical and finacial resources available to farmers seeking to adopt a practice like cover crops or no-till.
