Cover Crops & No-Till Help Double Organic Matter
In this article, read about Jason Birdsong, a Prospect, Tenn., grower who saw his farm’s organic matter nearly double after completing a transition to no-till and implementing cover crops into his operation.
Equipment for Seeding Cover Crops
In this video, Mike Less, better known as Farmhand Mike, visits an Indiana farmer who is seeding a cover crop of cereal rye on a harvested corn field and running a new Deutz Fahr 8280 Tractor which is pulling a Pottinger Terrasem C6 Mulch Seed Drill. Check out the video to see all the specs of the equipment and why this farmer finds it useful for cover crop seeding.
Cover Crops Improve Dry Clay Soils of Nevada
In this video, see how cover crops are regenerating soil in the driest parts of Nevada. This grower even found an earthworm in her recently cover cropped soil — something she says is uncommon for her area.
Fall Cover Crops Before Soybeans or Corn
Watch this video to hear from John Gaska, Matt Ruark and Shawn Conley, 3 cover crop specialists in Wisconsin, as they discuss best practices for cover crops before soybeans and corn. Radish and clover are two cover crops which can be especially beneficial in these crop systems, according to Gaska, Ruark and Conley.
