Hairy Vetch Good Cover For Winter Crops
Hairy vetch and rye plots seeded last fall by the Monticello CCC camp on the Brashaw and Slauson farms show favorable winter cover and green manure. July to September seedings include pure vetch and rye vetch mixes. August 1 growth is strongest on sandy Carrington soil with a 4 percent slope. The rye-vetch mix provides the best cover and 10 bushels seed to be distributed this spring.
