Vegalogue is a podcast from Australian vegetable peak industry body AUSVEG. Each episode we take a look at issues affecting the Australian vegetable, potato and onion sectors, unpacking levy-funded research and meeting some of the incredible people who make up the vegetable industry.
In the last episode we had a chat with Dr Kelvin Montagu about a project he ran a few years ago exploring the benefits of cover cropping for vegetable growers.
This episode, we speak with a grower who was part of that project, Peter Schreurs and Sons, and how it started them on a cover cropping journey that has changed the face of their farm.
