While cover crop seeding has been growing by leaps and bounds in the no-till community in the last several years, getting them established can be a challenge, even for the most seasoned no-tillers.
In the first part of this two-part podcast series, cover crop educator and Pennsylvania no-tiller Steve Groff will talk about the mindset necessary to be successful in adopting cover crops in a no-till system and the types of questions no-tillers need to ask themselves about their operation before venturing forward with covers.
He’ll also discuss what cover crops are good options for no-tillers who desire species that winterkill and don’t require termination, and strategies for getting them seeded in colder northern climates with shorter planting windows.
Once you've finished Part 1, listen to the second part of this series:
