Harvest season is a busy time. There is so much for a grower to organize, manage and stay on top of that adding one more thing during the season — like seeding cover crops — may seem way too daunting.

Greg Roth, a professor at Penn State University, explains how interseeding is a system designed to help establish cover crops in areas where cover crop establishment is not that feasible because of a late harvest and short season.

Incorporating cover crops into strip-till has delivered both benefits and challenges during the 8 years Nickerson, Neb., farmer Brent Willnerd has used them on both seed corn and commercial crops. He discusses the transition from aerial seeding to drilling in varieties included cereal rye, radishes and rye.
