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.
With record corn yields resulting in a record amount of corn stover, Penn State University Extension suggests that growers can manage extra residue by partially harvesting it.
Soybean acres continue to grow and that means that we will likely have more acres of soybeans planted into "virgin" soils, where there has been no recent history of soybeans.
Whether it’s interseeders, highboys or even robots, manufacturers are taking innovative cover-crop seeding equipment, born in the shops of no-tillers and researchers, and bringing them to the marketplace.
In the near future, more no-tillers and strip-tillers than ever before will be able to purchase cutting-edge, cover-crop seeding machines that used to be reserved for field days, research farms and expert welders.
Recent improvements to early-season corn hybrids could help no-tillers raise 200-bushel crops, seed cover crops earlier and capitalize on price advantages.
One obstacle to cover-crop adoption in cooler northern climates has been the typically narrow window for getting covers quickly seeded and established after corn harvest to capture benefits to no-till soils.
