Helping Farmers Succeed with Cover Crops:
Two Case Studies
How can ag retailers incorporate cover crops into their business model? Datu reports on the experience of two farmer-owned cooperatives that are committed to actively supporting their customers with cover crop products, advice and services. A follow-on to our September 2018 study of Certified Crop Advisors and Ag Retailers, these case studies tell the story of how each co-op came to embrace cover crops. Each one shares victories and challenges, lessons learned, and advice to other ag retailers who are interested in expanding their own cover crop offerings hashtag hashtag hashtag hashtag hashtag

Will we see you next week at SWCS or the Soil Health Institute?

Hope to see you in Albuquerque, where you can get a sneak peek at Datu’s upcoming findings on cover crop products and services provided by agricultural retailers and Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs).

At the annual meetings of the Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) and the Soil Health Institute (SHI), Dr. Angel Cruz will present recent survey and interview results, including that 94% of ag retailers and CCAs want to increase the cover crop products and services they offer.

See the figure below for more detail on the cover crop products and services that ag retailers and CCAs currently offer.
