Missouri producer MacCauley Kincaid started planting cover crops in 2014, primarily for the financial benefits he thought they would provide. It took time, but they paid off.
By 2020, he noticed a 70% reduction in the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that he needed to apply to his fields, said Kincaid, who plants cover crops on all of his 650 acres of corn and soybeans.
