Tune-in as cohosts Rachel and Clint are joined by Amber Emmons, CCA, Water Quality Extension Associate, and Ph.D. student in Weed Science. This video series is no stranger to cover crops as a tool for conservation, but weed control is a hidden benefit yet to be explored.

Amber shares insights on how cover crops can play a critical role in weed control based on research from the OSU Weed Science Department, led by Drs. Alyssa Essman and Eugene Law. Together, the team examines agronomic and economic data available to help understand a lesser-known benefit of cover crops.
