Abstract: As environmental sustainability awareness grows, the role of cover crops in preserving and enhancing cropland has become increasingly valued. This study surveys 46 farmers from January 28, 2021, to March 31, 2021, in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida to explore current practices in integrating cover crops into row crop production. Findings show cereal rye is the preferred cover crop, with no-till drill and broadcast spreading being the most common planting methods and herbicides the main termination method.
