A couple of questions have been recurring this spring, related to the control of ryegrass (annual/Italian) in burndown situations, and the effective termination of cover crops.
Recently a no-tiller commented on a no-till history article about stripper headers and said “stripper headers make our no-till program work without having to plant covers. We are straight wheat on wheat and run cattle every year. We couldn't do it without the stripper header!”
Alec Amundson and a group of five other cooperators decided to test if later maturing soybeans could offset some of the yield decline seen when planting green and delaying cover crop termination.
“This is one of today’s biggest opportunities in conservation ag,” Mitchell Hora says. “The folks with data — the agronomist, the team around each farmer — we all need to be working together with the folks at the biofuel facility to go after these credits together."
Having worked in the conservation ag sector for 25+ years, director of Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC), Ryan Heiniger, says that he has seen a lot of different types of cover crop/regenerative ag incentive and cost-share programs fail and succeed. But he feels that the current momentum around incentivizing conservation ag is bigger than it has ever been.

A sharp pencil and skyrocketing rental rates convinced Greg Keller to cut the size of GK Farms near Monroe, Neb., by more than half in 2014 as the dedicated no-tiller opted to fine-tune the efficiency of his operation.
As planting season approaches, here are a few best management practices for starting clean in fields with winter cereals that will be harvested for forage or cover crops that will be terminated ahead of planting.
