Cover crops

What in the world is that growing in that field?  I thought we just harvested the corn!


Quentin is trying out cover crops on one field of Paul's this winter.  He planted a rye-radish-turnip mix, which he will kill in the spring before soybean planting.  In the meantime, they might graze some cattle on it this winter.  Cover crops can be very good for soil health, weed suppression and water infiltration.  We are excited to see if they will work for our operation!
