003. Jeff Mitchell — Test Plot Insights
Loading
/

From one of his test plots in Five Points, California, Dr. Jeff Mitchell talks with Monte about a few of the studies he’s conducted over the years. Listen to their discussion about his observations in yield, carbon, and microbial activity when comparing conventional tillage to no-till plots with and without cover crops. Some of these studies have been ongoing with recorded observations starting in 1999! Jeff also shares some insights from the 15 different plot trials being conducted to monitor how cover crops affect soil-water content and water depletion.

Jeff wants to continue and grow the conversations that began at AgEmerge. If you’re interested in learning more, you can meet Jeff at his test plot in Five Points, California on Friday’s between 9AM – 12PM. Email Jeff Mitchell at jpmitchell@ucdavis.edu for the location.
