The Future of Cover Crops: New Varieties, Technologies & Trends
Nearly 81% of no-tillers planted cover crops in 2024, according to the latest No-Till Farmer Benchmark Study. In this forward thinking session, Rob Myers, a top authority on cover crops and director of the Center for Regenerative Agri- culture at the Univ. of Missouri, helps no-tillers stay ahead of the curve with a look at new varieties coming to market, including cereal rye with high or low levels of allelopathy. He also addresses how virtual fencing, drones, robots and other technologies and policy trends will affect the future of cover cropping.
The 2026 National No-Tillage Conference Video Replay is brought to you by Clean Fuel Credit Consortium (CFCC).
