"Cover crops is an off-season crop used to maintain the soil integrity to prevent erosion from wind and rain. Cover crops are also used to increase organic material in the soil to help with water retention during growing seasons.” This is a practice that is under-utilized and usually used for the purpose of erosion control, however Lower Ark is looking into using this method as a water quality agent.
