49. Planting Cover Crops with a Highboy Interseeder


Listen Later

Cover crops are a useful tool for improving soil health and water quality, but can be challenging to plant. In Nebraska, cover crops are often planted after harvest, but it leaves little time for cover crops to establish before winter conditions set in. Interseeding cover crops in late season corn is one possible method of increasing cover crop success. In this episode, we hear from several guests about a unique interseeding project the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is conducting in partnership with several Natural Resources Districts (NRDs) and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE).
