Meet the AHDB Cover Crop Champions!🌾👨‍🌾 Following on-farm trial design principles, each of the 8 champions is establishing a cover crop ahead of various cash crops for harvest 2025. To get to know our champions & learn more, visit: ow.ly/5GeG50TrRUU @covercropsguide


Capes are in full flow @anthonybecvar! 🦸‍♂️ Great cover crop update straight from the field - buckwheat springing into action and rye beating the slugs so far #covercropsguide

Cover crop trial is up and away! @cereals_se @TheAHDB @sewateruk



We may be biased but our steering group member @tjcsimpson is hosting THE event of the summer for those wanting to see the success and failures from a range of catch crops, summer and winter cover crops.

🚨 A new network for cover croppers old and new coming soon! 🚨 Great to have you onboard @anthonybecvar! What size cape do you take? 🦸‍♂️

@tjcsimpson has been so inspiring that I’m going to become a Cover Crop Champion for @AHDB_Cereals @Izzyeames1 and apparently I get a cape! Great catching up with @sea2soil and @bleating_lamb and thanks for another chance to harass @IntegratedSoils!



Heading to Groundswell? Hear from some of the team behind the UK’s first independent cover crops guide. On the day, we will unpack Return on Investment from cover crops & herbal leys in the arable rotation; can you quantify it, are they worth it, & how do you maximise it? 💬

@TheGreenFarmCo1 Great thread here on summer cover crops, which many will be opting for on the back of continued poor spring weather, setting fields up for a huge soil health boost and a great autumn sown cash crop

SUMMER COVER CROPS Where do they fit and how can you make them a success? ☀️🌾A thread 👇

Great too see the vision of the guide in action already #knowledgesharing #covercropsguide

Cover crop folk, pls help. We haven't managed to spray off our cover crops & we couldn't graze them due to dog walkers. Should I still try and spray off ASAP, or wait until just before drilling (if conditions ever improve)? Mainly linseed, phacelia, vol barley. @CoverCropsGuide

Our steering group recently met to set an ambitious agenda for the progression of this independent, farmer-led guide. We hope to forge a nationwide community, rooted in collaboration & knowledge sharing for farmers at every stage of their cover cropping journey #covercropsguide

#covercrops not as massive this year, mainly due to the radish never getting going. However, this has given the berseem #clover an opportunity to flourish. Addition of linseed was a good move too. The value of a mix! ⁦@SustainableLsps⁩ ⁦@YorkshireWater#soilhealth

“By working with farmers in vulnerable catchments both water companies hope to mitigate diffuse nitrate leaching to add long-term resilience to water supply” Great to see these cover crops initiatives working for all involved, do we need more like this? Who’s involved in one?

Results of the Nitrogen Release from Cover Crops #NiCCs project with @AffinityWater & @PortsmouthWater are live! ✅Cover crops cut nitrate leaching by up to 90% ✅Cereal yield following cover crop ⬆️ 0.2- 1 t/ha ✅Soil N supply increased by up to 35kg N/ha adas.co.uk/news/results-p…
