Indiana among top states for cover crop adoption

Hoosier farmers planted about 1.6 million acres of overwinter living covers – cover crops and small grains, like wheat – this spring, elevating the state to the top in the nation in cover crop adoption, according to a survey by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.

The conservation survey, conducted between March and May, recorded 651,000 acres of corn and 916,000 acres of soybean covering the state.

Posey County led the state with about 87,000 acres under cover crops, followed by Gibson County with 70,000 acres and LaPorte County with 60,000 acres.
