One of my growers invited me out to see something he’s trying for first. Mixture of rye and hairy vetch and rye was killed in February. Prior to planting rolled it. No-till planted corn into it. NC State Crop & Soil Sciences Corn Growers Association of North Carolina

This is what the rye & hairy vetch cover crop looks like after being rolled (cover crop rolled may have been a little earlier) and planted 4/29 with corn. Looks great. Now let’s see how the corn performs.

Research is in full swing! This trial is one I’m particularly excited about, looking at incorporating litter after planting. Can’t wait to see how it looks in a couple months! Think we’ll get an N boost??? 🤔 Doing the same at V2 and V5 as well! NC State Crop & Soil Sciences

Pleasant surprise w/ grower. Evaluated ears from several fields (see one ear). Had one field accidentally planted 77k per acre (see 2 ears). Fieldview says they’ve had 7 inches rain since planting. Amazing figures. See secret weapon. Corn Growers Association of North Carolina NC State Extension

What does it take for farmers to find answers to their questions- farmers with inquisitive minds, and their ingenuity feed with Extension county meetings, field trials, field days, newsletters, farm visits and much more.
