Cover crops provide many benefits to producers but can be challenging to establish in a corn-soybean rotation. However, with a little research and holistic crop rotation management there are many opportunities to incorporate cover crops into a crop rotation. In addition, as waterhemp has become a common problem,  a little management in the fall via combine cleaning can go a long way the following season.
