In Season Cover Crop Planting

Cover Crops have been around for year and more and more growers are finding ways to fit them into their operation. From keeping soil in place, to reducing inputs, there certainly are benefits to be taken advantage of. The problem 99% of growers that I talk to face is how to plant their cover crops. When we get fall weather like we did this year, post harvest planting is out of the question, which makes us look further into the growing season to start establishment. At Fennig Equipment we Specialize in planting cover crops into a standing crop. We offer Salford row units to get your seeds in a row, which could double as a bean planter. The rotary hoe bar pictures above lightly incorporates seed in a 12" band between the 30" rows and has been a big success. A lot of growers are looking at seeding cover crops at side dress time to do both in the same pass, though you are relying on rain since it is not an incorporation pass, this can still be very successful. If you are interested in learning more about interseeding covers, give us a call at 419-953-8500.
