Headys Farm: Rolling Cover Crops in Frosty Conditions
In this video from a British farmer in Buckinghamshire, he tries to roll cover crops in cold and snowy conditions to see if terminating them slightly earlier will help them break down faster and enable them to kill more blackgrass in the spring.
I had a go at rolling cover crops during the frost last week, to see if terminating them slightly earlier will help them break down faster and enable us to kill more blackgrass in the spring. I only 1 did one field so we can compare results. #covercrop #regenag #farming pic.twitter.com/Fdg7rAeXgZ
