Two cover crop workshops, sponsored by the Eastern Panhandle Conservation
District and the Potomac Valley Conservation District, were held on farms in
Jefferson and Hardy Counties in October 2012. Two acre demonstration plantings
were done on each farm in cooperation with Conservation Partnering agencies of
the West Virginia Conservation Agency, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the WVU Cooperative Extension Service.
Improving soil quality through the use of cover crops is a priority of the
West Virginia NRCS Plant Materials Committee and the USDA NRCS Plant Materials
Program.
