Lynx Winter Pea From Smith Seed Services
Lynx Winter Pea is an exciting new multi-purpose winter field pea with better cold tolerance, excellent palatability and improved disease resistance. Lynx Winter Pea is a clear-coated, smooth green pea that produces white flowers. These characteristics are particularly significant for attracting wildlife. Clear-coated, white-flower pea plants have been shown to be more palatable than purple-flowering pea plants because they are tannin-free, making the plants sugar-sweet, not bitter. Lynx Winter Pea is a semi-leafless variety with short internodes. For the cover-crop market, it offers improved winter hardiness, meaning longer production of roots, nodulation and high nitrogen.

Kauffman Seeds
Here at Kauffman Seeds, we strive to focus on the individual customer’s needs. We tailor mixes to meet their goals, as well as strive to maintain flexibility for their production system. Throughout the last few dry years, it has been very apparent that blends, even just for forage production goals, have been a very good investment. Many times, we have observed fields of monocultures stressing when fields of mixed species have handled the stress well. The soil-health attributes of planting multispecies mixes are also another key benefit. Benefits of mixes have been observed with four or more species.

Cisco Seeds N-Vest® Crimson Cover-All Mix
N-Vest® Crimson Cover-All Mix consists of crimson clover and Groundhog cover-crop radishes. This mix produces and scavenges nitrogen.
Benefits of Crimson Cover-All Mix:
- Produced Nitrogen
- Scavenges nitrogen — Crimson clover produces a very fibrous root structure that increases organic matter in the top 10 inches of soil and nodulates to produce free nitrogen. Tests show Groundhog cover-crop radishes have scavenged as much as 130 pounds of nitrogen per acre (tops and tubers combined — with manure applied).
