The First Ever 12-Row Interseeder?
The father-son duo of Eddie and Aaron Augustian recently built a 30-foot, 12-row interseeder to plant cover crops into corn. As far as they know, it’s the first of its kind. Let’s see it in action - Eddie shows us how it works in this video.
The Nutrient Stewardship Field Day
FarmWeekNow.com gives us a front row seat to an epic field day event in the Land of Lincoln. Farmers get a crash course on cover crops, with a focus on the most popular ones in Illinois: cereal rye, oats, radishes, red clover, tritcale and wheat.
Cover Cropping with Mr. Taylor in Mississippi
Let's take a trip to Buckeye Farms, not in Ohio, but in Mississippi. Owner Sledge Taylor grows cotton, corn and soybeans across 4,500 acres. The no-tiller shares the key to success when it comes to flying on cover crops in the Magnolia State. Shoutout to the talented people at Mississippi State University for their superb camera work and editing on this piece.
Farm Next: CoverCress
The latest episode of Farm Next, anchored by the golden-throated Max Armstrong, covers the profitability potential of a new CoverCress crop. The segment explains how it delivers the traditional benefits of a cover while also providing a potential second income for corn and soybean farmers.
The Rest of the Story: Cutting Oats Cover Crop
9,600 views and counting for this action-packed video from The Rest of the Story YouTube series. Our host brings us along for the ride, via a GoPro camera, while cutting oats. A half-hour well spent, learning all about this farmer’s operation and everything that's changed over the years.
