In 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, we grew red clover in an organic soybean-winter wheat-corn rotation near Mead, NE with the goal of providing N to the following corn crop. The
An increasing number of growers are ‘planting green’ or have asked questions regarding this practice. ‘Planting green’ means the corn or soybean is planted directly into a growing cover crop
The cropping systems that offer the greatest chance of success for realizing fall forage production from a forage double-crop are those following wheat, hybrid seed corn, and corn silage. Planting
In drought conditions there is less residue than normal in many fields. In some, the crop was harvested as a forage or cut as silage, leaving very little residue at
In 2010, 2011, and 2012 we set up a replicated study where we planted different cover crop mixtures in a seed corn field in Merrick County. One goal was to
Five growers worked with the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network in 2014 to assess the use of cover crops for their farming operations. Specifically, these producers were concerned with the impact

Through a $1 million USDA-NRCS grant, UNL Water Resources Engineer Suat Irmak and his research team have been conducting trials in multiple fields since 2012. This research will help identify
It can be difficult to find information on which herbicide(s) to use or avoid for certain cover crops, especially when planning to use the cover crop for forage or feed
Researchers at UNL are working on a new study funded by the Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Soybean Board to investigate the effects of integrating cover crops into soybean and
This study compares two treatments, a monoculture rye cover crop versus a cover crop mix. Soil health indicators, soil tests, and yield data are evaluated each year.
