A leader of a farmer-led watershed group says producers save a lot of money when planting cover crops by leaving the USDA out of the plan.
John Eron farms near Stevens Point, Wisconsin. He says, “A person going to their NRCS, FSA office and wanting to try something like cover crops, they would have to use a certified seed.”
Eron tells Brownfield without the red tape and extra regulations, the producer-led groups are implementing soil-saving measures for a lot less money.
