Cover crops were interseeded into V4 corn in mid-June to evaluate what species will survive in a shaded crop on the Seim farm in Merrick County, Nebraska.
Taking the "long view" of farming comes more naturally to some growers than it does for others. But for Brian Gunderson it may come more naturally because his farm in Waterford, Wis., has been in the family for 170 years.
Seeding strategies and selecting varieties were among the topics of conversation during an exclusive roundtable dinner ahead of the 5th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference.
Strip-tillers tend to be naturally inquisitive. So having the opportunity to assemble a diverse group for a candid dinner conversation provided plenty of productive back-and-forth on a range of topics.
Four farmers sit down to discuss the regional and even farm-specific considerations for variety selection and seeding strategies for developing a successful cover cropping program.
A conversation among farmers about cover cropping can produce as many questions as answers. But those exchanges are beneficial in understanding opportunities and limitations with a cover-cropping program.
In Idaho, growers have sought assistance from University of Idaho Extension on rotating cover crops in as an annual crop and interseeding approaches that allow the cover crops to grow along with the cash crop, reports the Tri-State Livestock News.
John Grabber, a research agronomist for the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center, presented on interseeding alfalfa into corn silage at World Dairy Expo on Wednesday, October 2. “The reason we’re trying to develop this system is to take care of several issues or shortcomings we have with corn and corn silage/alfalfa rotations,” said Grabber.

Iowa’s Jack Boyer uses cover crops to build soil for his Century Farm’s seed corn and soybean production, and reaps the benefits of additional nitrogen they add to his fields.
Maintaining an Iowa Century Farm while fulfilling the family goal of leaving the land in better condition than it was received, has led Jack Boyer a long way from the conventional farming his wife’s grandfather used when he settled the farm.
We all know about the many benefits that cover crops can provide, from erosion control to forage production and overall increased soil health. But there are limited opportunities to establish cover crops in typical field crop rotations.
An increasing number of growers are integrating cover crops into their cropping systems with goals of reducing erosion, increasing soil health properties, adding/capturing nitrogen, grazing livestock or aiding in weed suppression.
