Cover Crops Aren’t Just for Fall Anymore

Many no-tillers are satisfied seeding cover crops during or after harvest, perhaps leaving their program subject to harvest dates, weather or other challenges. But that’s not good enough for Jay Baxter. Following up on the “cliffhanger” he shared during out 2021 virtual conference, the Georgetown, Del., no-tiller will reveal the results of his new spring cover crop program where he planted corn into legumes and used the covers to feed his cash crop rather than terminating the cover. Planting methods, nutrient measurement and future plans for this practice will also be shared.
