Determining when and how best to use roller-crimpers has been a subject of interest in the Cooperators’ Program from Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) for the past seven years. In 2023, five cooperators conducted on-farm research on roll-crimping a cereal rye cover crop ahead of soybeans. Here are the findings on in-row roller crimping a cereal rye cover crop seeded in twin-rows ahead of soybeans.
