Farmers working with the Soil Conservation Service planted more acres to cover crops this fall. Agronomists say these crops reduce runoff and erosion, boost yields of cotton by about one third and corn by about three fourths, and improve soil fertility by holding nutrients and moisture. Cotton and corn growers turn under cover crops several weeks before planting.
