National Cover Crop Summit 2020

Breaking Pest Cycles with Full Season Cover Crops

Daniel Olson

Grower

Lena, Wis.

Daniel Olson details how he chooses cover crop mixes for his 1,200-acre dairy, where he milks 400 cows with his family. In addition to farming, Olson provides forage consulting services to dairy farmers.

Olson also shares how he uses full-season annual cover crop cocktails to break the rootworm cycle in his corn crop, why he transitioned away from seeding cover crops in the fall and how his operation utilizes cover crops as forage for the dairy cattle herd. Olson has eliminated alfalfa and implemented a crop rotation including triticale, sorghum-sudangrass, Italian ryegrass and clover that is harvested three times.
