Broadcast cover crop seeds often don't have good seed-to-soil contact, and stand counts of broadcast cover crops are often lower than those of drilled cover crops, says the University of Nebraska. A recent study shows that increasing the seeding rate can improve cover crop productivity, but only in some cases.
A cross-state move and knowing the potential of no-till bought our family and the land we purchased a fresh start. A commitment to cover crops gave us a mid-race boost we’re still riding.
Cover crops combined with no-tillage systems can increase soil organic carbon, which could help slow the effects of climate change on farms, according to a recent study by University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment scientists.
A new cover crop seeding rig, an ATV sprayer and a lot of patience helped this Ohio family improve tough soils and stabilize yields with no-till and cereal rye.
When Nathan Wilson first considered no-tilling corn and soybeans he was worried it might not work well. He had seen some poor stands and weed control problems on other farms and field days. But it turned out Nathan just needed to set foot on the right farm to see the possibilities.
Location, location, location. That’s honestly one of the reasons I’ve been successful in no-till over the years. I’m not talking about the land, though — it’s the people I’ve been fortunate enough to be surrounded by.
A study found that legume covers actually supplied little total nitrogen due to low biomass production, while the nitrogen contained in cereal rye residue was likely readily available for the next corn crop.
The Iowa State University Horticulture Research Station assessed five cereal rye cultivars for their anthesis timing, biomass production and carbon-to-nitrogen ratios.
