Strategies for Getting Cover Crops Planted in Spring.

With historic weather problems in 2019 pushing harvest back to almost unimaginable timeframes (did you take crops off in the snow?), it was nearly impossible for some farmers to get cover crops planted in a timely manner. But believe it or not, there are some opportunities for getting cover crops planted in spring, says Steve Groff.

The world-renowned cover crop expert from Holtwood, Pa., will share some strategies and tips for spring cover crop planting, including a discussion of appropriate planting windows and conditions and which species usually work best. He’ll also cover the concept of planting covers in semi-frozen ground instead of waiting for soils to dry out.
