Subject: Broadcasting Cover Crop during Combining



West Middletown
I know most are focused on planting and weather right now, however, I am trying to plan my end game for this year.

Have read in other posts and know local farmer recommending broadcasting Cereal Rye Cover ASAP after combining soybean crop. The idea is to get seed down and let it blend thru soybean trash to germinate. This method has worked in my area in the recent past but this is to be my 1st attempt at cover cropping.

Has anyone tried metering seed during Combining onto the Chaff Spreader of the Combine??

I have seen the results of spreading weed seed with my combine and witnessed some very nice wide swaths of weeds the following spring. Why not do the same thing with cover crop seed and save going over the same ground again? Also, no worries or trying to track where you have been and where you have not been.
