University of Minnesota Extension Soil Scientist Anna Cates is continuing to research cover crops in a sugarbeet rotation. There has not been a statistical drop in yields using either fall or spring-planted cover crops but more data is necessary to determine the soil health benefits over time. Cates also has research projects underway that will look at wind erosion. “Our first year, the 2022/2023 winter didn’t see much. Maybe this year. we’ll see a little more.”
