: This study is being conducted on a soil health demonstration farm as part of the Nebraska USDA/Natural Resource Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Soil Health Initiative, and involves the farmer, the
The purpose of this study was to better understand N management of corn following cover crops. Nitrogen was applied as urea broadcast at V6 at four rates: 0, 100, 175,
Organic no-till (NT) management strategies generally employ high-residue cover crops that act as weed-suppressing mulch. In temperate, humid regions such as the mid-Atlantic USA, high-residue winter cover crops can hinder
• Extending and diversifying a crop rotation to include a small grain presents farmers with the opportunity to also include a forage legume that could possibly reduce the need for
Cover crops are gaining new attention for their ability to reduce weed pressure in soybeans. Specifically, when seeding soybeans directly into a thick cover crop. Farmer-cooperators Jack Boyer and Scott

A successful management strategy for corn and soybeans following a cereal rye cover crop may differ across farms in terms of tillage, N fertilizer application or both. Farmer-cooperators Jack Boyer,

Planting soybeans within one day of terminating a cereal rye cover crop does not reduce yield and can improve weed control compared to terminating the cover crop 10–14 days prior
Waiting to plant organic, no-till soybean until terminating cereal rye by roller-crimping delays planting to late May. To try to plant soybeans earlier in roll-crimped cereal rye, Scott Shriver planted
Based on previous on-farm research he has conducted,[1] Sam Bennett has seen evidence that a cereal rye cover crop can suppress weeds and reduce herbicide inputs in soybeans. As such,
While maximizing the benefits of cover crops requires extending their growing period, prolonging growth and delaying termination beyond the date of soybean emergence is not allowed under federal crop insurance

Updated: 6/3/2021 Rick Clark, 5th generation farmer has been using cover crops for over 10 years on his 7,000 acre family farm. 1,200 of Clark Land and Cattle is certified
The East Texas Plant Materials Center (ETPMC) is working jointly with the US Forest Service (USFS) and East Texas Natives to develop a locally adapted swamp sunflower ecotype for use
Evaluation of growth characteristics and production attributes of commercially available varieties/cultivars and local sources of selected cover crops identified by NRCS State Agronomists/Soil Health Contacts and PMC staff. This study
Cool season, annual grasses and legumes have multiple benefits as a cover crop for soil conservation and soil health, livestock forage and wildlife habitat improvement. Success of the planting depends
Red clover, when interseeded (or frost-seeded) with winter wheat offers potential for economic return in the form of N credits, rotational yield bump and the potential for harvest as forage,
Wisconsin growers are increasingly interested in utilizing cover crops. While cover crop establishment is relatively easy following corn silage, small grains, and processing vegetables, establishing cover crops successfully following corn
