Compaction Buster
Our Weed Control Mixes are largely based on products such as Cereal Rye, Barley, Annual Rye and others which are flown on before or planted after harvest and left to grow throughout the fall and into the spring. Best results have been achieved by planting into these mixes while they are still green and terminating shortly after. These mixes meet and exceed the goals for Weed Control, Erosion Control, and Increasing OM in your fields.

Grasses
Cereal Rye
Cereal Rye
Cereal Rye
Cereal Rye is a great all around product primarily used ahead of soybeans. It can grow 4-5' tall at maturity offering great weed control while also busting up compaction with its shallower but wide spread root system. Cereal Rye can be planted until the first frost, and is easily terminated in the spring with Roundup.
Annual Rye
Cereal Rye
Cereal Rye
Annual Rye is a great product for use ahead of corn, with deep roots used to shatter hard pan compaction and loosen soils in preparation for the following years crop. Annual Rye has shorter above ground growth but has an extensive root system. Annual Rye is usually flown on before or planted directly after harvest and easily terminates in the spring with a proper application of Roundup.
Oats
Barley
Barley
We offer multiple varieties of oats including Black Oats that attack Cyst Nematodes in your fields, reducing their numbers and potential damage to your soybean crop. Oats of all kinds are usually flown on before or planted directly after harvest, and easily terminate on their own upon multiple days below freezing.
Barley
Barley
Barley
Barley is a great addition to any mix or as a stand alone product. Barley can be flown on or planted after harvest and offers a unique benefit of early mineralization activity in your soils, making those minerals more readily available to your cash crop. Barley can grow from 1.5-3' tall at maturity but is easily terminated with your burndown pass in the spring.
Broadleafs
Radish Species
Radish Species
Radish Species
Arguably the most well known of all cover crops, the Radish is the flagship of the Cover Crop industry. Its simple ease of growth, compaction busting and nutrient holding attributes have put it on the map as a great all around stand alone and mixed cover crop species.
Rapeseed
Radish Species
Radish Species
Rapeseed is cool-season annual broadleaf that has a deep root system. It is a very good scavenger of nitrogen and phosphorus. Some winter-type cultivars are capable to survive in low temperatures such as 10°F. When mixing rapeseed in blends, reduce the seeding rate appropriately based on the desired mixture. If not, rapeseed can outperform other species and become very competitive.
Buckwheat
Radish Species
Buckwheat
Buckwheat is a very good short season cover crop. It reaches maturity in just 70-90 days. The main benefits include weed suppression through shading and competition. It also attracts beneficial insects. It is a good first crop for rejuvenating over-farmed soils. Buckwheat’s dense, fibrous roots clustered in the topsoil provide an extensive root system for scavenging nutrients.
