  1. In the nine years of planting cover crops, I have witnessed no improvement in nutrient levels, weed suppression, CIC, organic levels, compaction, or water retention/drainage. It has not been a good ROI for this operation. At a cost of $65.00/acre for planting/termination, there has been no upside. I have decided to abandon this practice.

    • I do believe it is difficult and costly at times to implement this practice. I think with our high CEC soils in Paulding County, it makes it more difficult and the process takes a lot of time in the process and in the waiting for improvements.
