Wheat Harvested in Cover Crop Trial at the SWCRC

In July of this year, wheat was harvested in the cover crop trial at the Southwestern Colorado Research Center. The trial seeks to observe the effect of 8 different cover crop mixtures on wheat yield and soil quality when compared against a wheat-fallow rotation. 2018 was year two of testing for this trial and marks the end of Phase 1 of the Dryland Cover Crops Project. Stay tuned for a report of our findings!
