After 20 years of farming, Ilya Amrhein shares how there is always room for improvement and experimentation when it comes to cover cropping and how this beneficial management practice has improved biodiversity and soil health at Square Root Farm.
Ilya’s tip for farmers trying cover cropping for the first time, “keep it simple, keep it basic and choose one goal.”
Square Root Farm is located in Saanichton, British Columbia.
This project was funded by the Climate Agri-Solutions Fund. Funding for the Climate Agri-Solutions Fund has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – On-Farm Climate Action Fund.
