Cover Crops

Fair is coming up and I haven't had time to post much on this blog over the last couple of weeks, and likely won't have much time until after the fair ends.

I haven't heard of a lot of prevented planting acres in Clinton County but I'm sure there are some. An option which has some benefits for helping your productivity is to plant a cover crop. Eileen Kladivko of Purdue's Agronomy Department and Barry Fisher from NRCS have an article on this in the latest issue of Purdue's Pest and Crop Newsletter.

Keep in mind you can't hay, graze, etc., cover crops on prevented planting acres.
