We’ll help you put together a cover crop plan that works for you. Here are some things to discuss with your sales rep to ensure great success for your cover crop.

Planting Date – When will you be able to get the cover crop planted? Are you following a summer cover crop? Maybe seeding after a silage crop? Or perhaps a later fall planting after corn or bean harvest. Knowing your expected planting date as well as your average frost date is crucial to making the right cover crop mix.

Next Cash Crop – Consider your next cash crop. Are you going to corn or beans? When will the cash crop need to be planted in the spring? Could you let the cover crop grow a little longer in the spring to capture more nitrogen or build more weed suppressing biomass?

Termination Options – This is a big one! Thinking about termination and having a couple back up plans is critical to a successful cover crop scenario. Will you roller crimp the cover crop? Can you spray it out? Are you planning to till it under? Is grazing an option? Spend time discussing your termination options with your sales rep so they can set you up with the right cover crop species.

Other Restrictions – It’s important to make sure your sales rep knows the background of the operation and your overall goals. Are you a wheat producer who can’t afford any rye contamination? Do you have any residual herbicide that may affect the cover crop?

 

There’s no time like the present so whether you’re a first time cover cropper or a veteran of soil health, now is the time to invest in the future of your soil. We know you care deeply about your land so let us help you steward God’s creation for future generations.
