Depending on your needs and the cover crop(s) you plant, you can enhance water retention and infiltration, decrease erosion, amp up organic matter, extend grazing seasons … and so much more.

SDSU Extension will be hosting an informational meeting on March 26 at 1:30 PM CDT at the Phoenix Center (117 S. Main St., Onida, SD 57564).
