This week’s podcast, sponsored by Montag Manufacturing, features Steven Mirsky, a research ecologist with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. In 2020, he received the Arthur S. Fleming award for his outstanding achievements in applied science and engineering. Among his many accomplishments, he co-led the establishment of the Northeast Cover Crops Council and has been instrumental in developing the Cover Crop Decision Support Tool. For this podcast, Mirsky discusses some of the cover crop research projects he’s involved in, how cover crops increase the drought tolerance of cash crops, what he sees in the future of cover crop genetics, the impact of covers on herbicide resistance and more.
