It was a blessing for me to watch these 4 webinars. It also turns knowledge about soil and soil fertility on its head. So be prepared to scrutinize your knowledge and get started with these smart tips. Now it is incredibly important to be sure to look at recent studies in this area. Soil research is really still in its infancy, and new insights can turn old wisdom completely on its head.

Green Cover
These webinars are an initiative of Green Cover. The brothers, Keith Berns and Brian Berns, started Green Cover in 2008 after experimenting with ground cover and studying water use on their farm in south central Nebraska. The 1500+ acre farm has been 100% continuous non-plowing for over 10 years and they have worked hard in recent years to continue the research and incorporate ground cover crops into their non-plowing system. After examining crop water use, crop nutrient content and the effect of crops on subsequent crops, their findings were both exciting and encouraging.
You can download their annual reference book packed with tips and advice here.
