Mission & Vision


Mission

The mission of the Midwest Cover Crops Council is to facilitate widespread adoption of cover crops across the Midwest.
We empower a network of producers, landowners, researchers, industry, agencies, Extension, and government stakeholders to increase cover crop adoption by creating education/outreach programs, decision tools, and science-based materials, providing technical expertise to inform better policy, and promoting new research on cover crops in the Midwest region.

Vision

Increased cover crop adoption will lead to improved economic viability of agriculture, improved soil and water quality, and greater resilience of agricultural systems across the Midwest.
