Vegetative Cover in Minnesota: Prospects and Challenges

Document
Description
The Vegetative Cover Study was initiated to learn whether there are economically viable opportunities to expand environmentally protective crops to improve water quality, targeting areas with highly vulnerable groundwater in Minnesota. The primary focus of this study is on those crops and cropping systems that have traditionally been grown in Minnesota, including perennial crops, small grains, and cover crops, with the premise that these were historically grown profitably, and therefore there is an opportunity to grow them again.
