Cover crop is emerging with standing corn 2 weeks after drone seeding. Cover crops can improve long-term soil health, prevent erosion, and reduce non-growing season greenhouse gas emissions.
My research has been monitoring greenhouse gas emissions at a commercial dairy farm in Fergus since 2024. This study aims to evaluate the impacts of beneficial management practice packages co-developed by researchers and farmers for nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions mitigation while promoting crop yield. This research is part of a Living Lab – Ontario (LL-ON) project, which brings together farmers, scientists, and other stakeholders to co-develop, test, and evaluate BMPs in real-world farm settings and integrate them into agricultural systems.
