Subject: Re: Corn following rye



King City, Mo
I'd add in some turnips to the mix...cows love em. Just mix in with the rye seed and go.

Right now my cover/forage crop of cereol rye, radish, turnips looks better then where I frost seeded red clover.

High mgmt wheat on a variation of the Phil needhamn system made 90bu wheat.

Getting a mixed cover planted and then turning the cows into that this fall is great cheap feed plus built the soil, controlled the weeds after the wheat. Also the radish will break up deep compaction.

Next year I will kill the rye before it becomes a problem when i plant beans.

Beans are a legume

Corn, rye, wheat are grasses

Radish and turnips are bracassicas.
