Cover Cropping in Western Canada

Elmy, Kevin R.: - Kevin Elmy, PAg is a third-generation farmer who started researching better ways to farm in 1999. In 2000, he and his family started using soil health principles on their farm, and in 2009, they started using cover crops. By building healthy soil, they have been able to reduce synthetic inputs to the land dramatically while maintaining yields. Based on his personal experience and much research, Mr. Elmy offers Cover Cropping in Western Canada to his peers with the hope that they will find it useful in their agricultural production and management.

Mr. Elmy lives on his family's farm near Saltcoats, Saskatchewan, with his wife, Christina.
