Cover Crops

What's your strategy?

Nutrient loss is an important issue when considering the best management practices of a farm. There is an inherent need to stop events like erosion that wipe out the nutrient composition of the soil. Cover crops have the potential to reduce nutrient loss.

Illinois Corn, along with the Zea Mays Foundation, is encouraging farmers to use best management practices on their farms that will reduce nitrate loss by 15% by 2025 and reduce phosphate loss by 25% by 2025. To help support this goal, Illinois Corn Growers Association is working with several partners to provide programs and incentives to try best management practices like cover crops including a seed coupon for members and reduced cost opportunity.

Cover Crop Coupon for Members

Illinois Corn Growers Association is partnering with several seed companies to give ICGA members the opportunity to buy cover crop seed at a discounted price. The coupons offer a value up to $200 off of a qualifying seed purchase from one of the participating companies listed below.
