Why Are Cover Crops Important in the Southern Region?
Cover crops are among the most important tools we can use to conserve our natural resources. Although there is a lot of information available about cover crops, much of it may not apply to southern agricultural systems that have unique challenges. The Southern Cover Crops Council (SCCC) exists primarily to support the adoption of best cover crop practices in the south.
We are here because of you. This resource is the work of farmers, researchers, educators, service providers, and industry representatives who share a passion for cover crops, agriculture, and natural resource conservation in the south and beyond. It doesn’t matter if you are considering planting cover crops for the first time or if you have been using cover crops for 15 years or more, our goal is to support you in your ongoing quest to manage your agri-business efficiently and effectively.
