Thats jamestown lol, not here........unless we are going to replace all cash crop with a cover crop it ain't happening here. We've tried them several times broadcasting in standing crop, have yet to have enough germinate to even know what was out there.


They went from using all the moisture to not being able to establish a stand, amazing. Here 9 out of 10 years covers crops are a net moisture positive for the cash crop. That comes from increased infiltration on our heavy clay soils and evaporation protection from our hot dry summers.


Again, everywhere is different. I'm not saying cover crops don't work, just saying they don't work for us. Us and many neighbors have tried for many years, maybe 1 in 5 years do they even germinate, and then add a killing frost mid Sept it doesn't leave much time. Standing crop residue does a good job of protecting soil surface too for us
