Subject: Rye cover crop question.


SE South Dakota
Been thinking about this for a while would it work. Eastern South Dakota corn soybean rotation. Most fields the wet spots are well tiled out. I like the notion of planting a rye cover crop after corn going to soybeans the next year. Have not done it yet. We do some strip till on lighter soils and full tillage on the rest.

Would it work to spread rye with a spreader on cornstalks this fall after harvest then chisel plow, with a harrow on the 2410 JD chisel. Might mix fertilizer with the spread rye. Next spring plant right into the stale seedbed/growing rye. No tillage or I could strip till it with a Dawn Pluibus. I don't know if the Dawn Pluibus would work in growing rye. I suspect that the rye would have to be very small.

Any ideas??
