Interseeding Cover Crops in Corn’s Early Stages
Interseeding cover crops early in corn season can allow the covers to produce more biomass and increase their benefits. In this video, Alex and Victor discuss different timings for interseeding cover crops and the challenges associated with herbicide programs.
Seeding Cover Crops with Valmar 6056 & Dawn DuoSeed
In this video, Adam Fennig of Fennig Equipment, visits with an Indiana farmer who is interseeding cover crops into his standing corn. Fennig explains how the Valmar Seeder helped him get ideal seed-to-soil contact for the cover crops. A mixture of barley, oats and radishes will be growing in his field soon.
No-Tiller Uses Tree Trunk for DIY Roller Crimper to Terminate Cover Crops
If you have ever wanted to make a low-cost roller crimper that terminates cover crops well, then this video is for you! This no-tller built a DIY roller crimper using an ATV and a tree trunk as the drum.
Establishing a Perennial Stand Under a Warm-Season Cover Crop
In this video, Canadian grower Joseph Gardiner shares his experience implementing warm-season annual plant species to help establish his perennial stand and feed soil biology through plant diversity and mob grazing.
Controlling Herbicide-Resistant Horseweed with Cover Crops
Eugene Law of GROW IWM shared a picture that compares winter wheat to winter killed oats. Check out the side-by-side comparison and take note of Law’s advice to diversify crop rotations with winter small grains.
Cover crops can do a lot to control herbicide resistant horseweed, but the CC species matters. On the left we had winter wheat, on the right winter killed oats. Spring cover makes a dramatic difference. Diversifying rotations with winter small grains can have the same effect! pic.twitter.com/PBp5mUVSVx
