Green Cover Seed, headquartered in Bladen, Neb., has announced the opening of a second location to better serve customers and to better reach people with the message of hope and change that regenerating soils can deliver.
While not getting a cash crop planted is a negative event, there can be some positives that come out of it, such as an opportunity to break out of the corn/soybean rut and plant cover crops to add diversity to farm operations, says Keith Berns of Green Cover Seed.
Bred in New Zealand specifically for cover crop and soil health purposes, Smart Radish promises higher tillering and more biomass below ground, the company says.
Crop diversity and biological activity in a cover-cropped farming system ensures healthy interactions between plants, roots and soil organisms, says Keith Berns.
Likening a healthy, robust industrial economy to the types of biological activities taking place underground in a no-till, cover-cropped farming system isn’t a stretch of the imagination, says Keith Berns.
Keith Berns and his brother Brian co-own Providence Farms and Green Cover Seed in Bladen, Neb. They farm 2,500 acres, including corn, soybeans, rye, triticale, peas, buckwheat and sunflowers using continuous no-till and a variety of cover crop strategies to maximize the health of their soil.
I was recently perusing the regular e-newsletter sent out by the cover crop company Green Cover Seed and noticed an excellent article from Kansas farmer, salesman and educator Dale Strickler that is worth sharing.
