Urge Farm Cooperation on Wildlife Cover Crops
Howard Lins of AS&C County urges farmers to delay clipping cover crops on land enrolled in USDA farm programs to protect nesting wildlife. When clipping is needed, operate machinery higher and consider delaying until about July 10 to allow chicks to grow large enough. The guidance aims to balance weed control with wildlife protection across Washington County and statewide conservation efforts.
