For sure. Diversity of crop cover is obviously very important. We promote, very strongly, crop rotation. In Ontario, where I am from, crop rotation is not phenomenal. We have a lot of corn, soybeans, corn, soybeans. That's not a crop rotation. We'd much rather see a three or four crop rotation. On my farm we have a three crop rotation and then we plant covers with things that aren't normally in my rotation. We have, in our multispecies cover crop mix, buckwheat, peas, all kinds of things that we don't normally plant as a main crop but are just there to provide some biomass to go back into the soil.
