To help the growing interest in education about cover crops, La Crosse Seed is developing tools that Ag retailers and farmers alike can utilize when making their cover crop decisions. "As Cover Crops gain momentum across the Midwest, we have recognized that the majority of individuals are looking for tools and information that can help them make decisions. So far, we have created a couple of these, such as a cover crop forage value chart and cost per acre calculator based on species planted. In the future, we look forward to releasing additional tools to help people feel confident when making their cover crop decisions." says Scott Wohltman, Cover Crop Lead for La Crosse Seed.

Currently available through the Soil First™ website, www.soil1st.com, the tools are listed below:
