Martinsville, Ohio | Wow, your brain is overactive Joel. Great list!
I know they work, now how do we get them planted?
For us it was a dedicated seeder and driver following the combine. Got lots of acres in.
How about those who fought mud and now fighting ruts? No way.
For those not convinced, the many pictures on NAT and local plots and good discussion seem to lead the way to convincing. Some will never be interested, that's OK.
I agree with Pat on cheap and fast so rye and oats and other grasses make more sense here. Doesn't help my compaction much but does extract nutrients.
I like oats and radish because I don't have to kill them, Mother Nature takes care of that deal.
I am a big picture person realizing most commodities are produced on a grand scale. So few farmers produce so much.
I don't necessarily want to convert them all but I am sure willing to help anyone who wants to learn.
That link you gave is a really good read, fits right into my talk Tuesday.
I counted in my head 10,000 ac of covers that will be represented in that room.
Great List, Joel, don't be afraid to put lime on them:)
