One of the easiest ways to protect soil health is to keep it covered! Consider cover cropping, leaving stubble, and implementing or restoring shelterbelts at field edges and marginal lands where possible! These can help reduce the incidence of soil erosion and nutrient runoff!
Curious why so many Alberta producers are getting an EFP?
See for yourself what the hype is all about and how the program can benefit your operation: albertaefp.com/alber... #efp #abefp #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #albertaag #agriculture
