State Cover Crop Standards

For the purpose of Farmers for Soil Health, cover crop plant species, seeding rates, planting & termination dates, and planting & termination methods must be consistent with NRCS Cover Crop Conservation Practice Standards (CPS 340). Please review your state-specific 340 guidelines. You may notice that your state has an approved deviation(s), which is only applicable to the Farmers for Soil Health project. If you have any questions, please contact your Farmers for Soil Health state point of contact.
