This free NRCS webinar will discuss in detail the Cover Crop Species Selector and Cover Crop Seeding Rate Calculator. The Vegetation Specification Suite was developed through a partnership between the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Agricultural Research Service, and North Carolina State University. The suite includes Decision Support Tools (DSTs) for conservation plantings, estimated cover crop economics, seeding rates, and more. The Cover Crop Species Selector helps you choose suitable cover crop species by filtering options based on location, goals, and farming conditions. The Cover Crop Seeding Rate Calculator helps you determine seeding rates for cover crops based on location, species, and management goals.
