New USDA-Backed Tool Helps Farmers Map Nitrogen Credits from Cover Crops
A new partnership pairs DASH’s ModCam-powered PlantMap3D system with USDA’s Cover Crop Nitrogen Calculator, letting farmers like Maryland’s Trey Hill map exactly how much nitrogen their cover crops are providing field by field, and adjust fertilizer rates accordingly through retailers Willard Agri-Service and GROWMARK FS.
