The three-year $220,000 project is led by project director Lori Nelson, Land Grant Director at NHSC and will study the impacts of cover crop termination methods on soil quality, crop yield, weed pressure, and crop quality. The CRARS will provide technical assistance and soils and nutrient density analysis to the project.
