is not the best way to obtain a good
stand. Lime needs up to six months
to react in the soil and correct
acidity.
If soils need lime, it should be
worked into the topsoil when the
small grain seedbed is being
prepared. Legume seedings are
costly; be sure the soil is between
6.8 to 7.0 pH so they have a good
chance to survive.
To Plan Winter
Cover Crops
This is a good time to give some
thought to a winter cover crop on
Patz gives you inside the barn comfort and
fingertip ease of manure handling
land that has been tilled this past
season. The seeding of ryegrass,
bromegrass, or winter grains
following the harvesting of the
main crop this fall, will help
reduce soil erosion.
In addition, a cover crop adds
organic matter when it is in
corporated into the soil next
spring. Cover crops are especially
helpful on slopes and hillsides
where water erosion is a problem.
Just a word of caution, some
herbicides used on corn (atrazine)
may prevent growth of any grain
or cover crop this fall.
