Rye Is Surest for Winter Cover Crop
Agronomist E C Blair of North Carolina State College says rye is the most reliable winter cover crop, growing well on clay or sandy soils and resisting winter kill. Sow from August to December with best results around October 1, one bushel per acre, either broadcast in a field or drilled after disking. Rye provides fall and early spring grazing, should be turned under as heads appear, and helps prevent leaching and erosion while adding organic matter. If a legume is uncertain, sow rye with it for better soil tilth and protection.
