You will just keep experiencing the same symptoms – surface crusting, ruts, wet spots, stunted growth, lost yield, and many others – until you address the underlying cause of the problem, which is poor aggregate formation and the lack of living roots. We want a mix of both warm- and cool-season cash crops and cover crops in the rotation.

The non-dormant alfalfa planted as an annual can yield three cuttings as a cash crop and then winter-kill. Researchers have found that the annual alfalfa leaves enough nitrogen in the soil for a barley or corn crop the next year.

The cost can be prohibitive, and it can be tricky to fit them into a conventional row-cropping system. A 2022 Stanford University satellite study reported that although cover cropping reduces erosion and improves water quality, it also causes significant yield hits for corn and soybeans.

One way to reduce agricultural chemicals is planting cover crops in the Fall after the cash crop is harvested. Winter cover crops could mean using less fertilizer and herbicide in the Spring. The type of herbicide depends on which cover crop is used and the timing for spring planting.
