Aerial applied Triticale/Vetch into early senescing (yellowing) soybeans in early September 23. Will strip till into after harvest and plant ‘24 directly on the strip and terminate triticale/vetch after corn planting depending on moisture level. Root Tillage, erosion etc..

Finishing up small field- harvesting hairy vetch seeds used as a cover crop. Hairy vetch, as a legume, takes nitrogen out of the air and puts it in the soil. Using it as a #covercrop allows us to "grow our own nitrogen" for the succeeding cash crop. #regenerativeagriculture – at Pennsylvania, USA

Same date
Same field
Same tenant
Different residue management
Different outcome
Cover crops = no wind erosion
Left is March 29 2021
Right is March 29 2022
Anything is possible when change is wanted

#CoverCrops alone weren’t enough @LongCrkPastures: “With that interseeded mix into the 🌽, I was able to see how everything played together and just see what forage production potential some of this ground has.” So Vittetoe bought cattle.🐄 fieldworktalk.org/episode/20…

#CoverCrops need to be used as offensive management tools! Just keep that in mind as it’s best to let your covers be aggressive and be your #NutrientStabilizer, herbicide program, moisture management system, and more! It’ll really pay this year! 🌱💪🌱

One is #notill with #covercrops the other is full tillage. Can you spot the differences? – at Arkansas, USA

Not quite as fun as a quiz about which wine or character you are, maybe, but nice food for thought about types of cover croppers and what's important to each: @ialearningfarms @crdelong

It is common for nearby cattle and row crop farmers to partner to graze cover crops. Nick Smith grazed his cattle on Tim Daly’s cover crop fields. The pair kept cover crop records and Nick sampled soil in April of each year.

MT @GoodIdeaFarm: Dairy producer Marv Biese worked with @NRCS_WI & @browncountywi on a pasture restoration project to prevent stream bank erosion on sensitive acres. If managed well, cows can be good for streams. Learn more: goodideafarm.org/ideas/worki…
