A small grain or legume crop traditionally planted in the fall to recover unused plant nutrients from the root zone, control soil erosion and improve the soil.
-
Riparian Buffer
Trees, shrubs or grasses planted next to waterways filter runoff, improve water quality, protect against erosion and provide wildlife habitat.
