Establishing a vigorous winter cover crop each fall is a key factor in turning out top yields m a no tillage program. This is true even if last year's crop was planted in a perennial sod. A mulch lasts only one season, so a freshly killed cover is necessary each spring. The heavier the mulch, the more moisture it will trap for roofs to tap next summer. It'll also keep soil erosion and surface evaporation of moisture at a minimum. There are four things to lookior when choosing a winter cover crop: (1) Ease of establishment, (2) Winter hardiness, (3) Ease of killing with a herbicide, (4) Persistence of dead mulch. (Check with your seed supplier or soil conservation service for inform ation on cover crops recommended for your area.) Once your cover crop is established, keep in mind that it doesn't pay to graze or harvest it for hay or silage. Stubble left after harvest won't provide enough protective mulch. In one university test, for example, com planted into a vigorous sod yielded 47% more than corn planted into stubble. Why are we telling you all this? Because we want you to know everything about no tillage farming. And that's why we also want you to use the best product you can to give quick kill and fast knock down of any cover crop.
