Since Ioka Farms planted cover crops in their hazelnut orchards, they have experienced significantly less soil erosion compared to bare hazelnut orchards in the valley. They also save on fertilizer applications because the cover crop serves as a natural nutrient booster. In the first couple of years since planting the fescue as a cover crop, they were able to harvest it while the hazelnut trees were getting established—though it required some careful maneuvering of large machinery in between the hazelnut rows. This option provided an additional income source for a few seasons before the hazelnuts were ready for their first harvest. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers technical assistance to farmers and ranchers interested in using soil health practices such as cover crops to build resiliency and sustainability into their operations.

The Mota Ranch 45 acre almond orchard uses cover crops and micro irrigation in Livingston, CA on Apr. 16, 2015 Owner Jesse Mota worked with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Merced Service Center Soil Conservationist Tomas Aguilar-Campos to create a conservation plan for Mota Ranch. California currently faces three looming challenges in agriculture: drought conditions, bee decline and protecting soil health. Planting cover crops helps overcome all three issues by helping to trap moisture in the soil, improve soil organic matter, and attracting pollinators.

Two-year-old pecan trees are dwarfed by mature pecan trees at Mason Pecan orchards, in Fort Valley GA, on May 8, 2019.
Two years ago, owner Thomas Mason reached out to U.S. Department of Agriculture to address the farming challenges that resulted from Hurricane Irma. 800 of 2,400 10-year old trees were downed by the wind. USDA Farm Service Agency’s Tas Smith was there to help. The orchard had to be cleared of debris before harvesting the surviving trees. The challenge is raising saplings alongside newly mature 12-year-old trees that require different levels of nutrients and care. This orchard’s yield will be cut by 1/3 until the saplings reach 12 years of age. Along the rows of trees and cover crop, burn sites, where tree cuttings were disposed of, are still seen in the orchard. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Leftover crop residue resulting from no-till farming is seen at an agricultural workshop hosted by Savage-Leigh Farm in Knoxville, Md., on Oct. 22, 2009. Experts from the University of Maryland Extension and USDA Agricultural Research Service were on hand to discuss innovations in manure application approaches that maximize nitrogen conservation and plant residue, nutritional strategies and the economic benefits of conserving nitrogen on dairy farms. The event featured field demonstrations of minimum disturbance tillage equipment, no-till manure injection, cover crop seeding techniques and straw cover for manure storage.
