Winter cover crops guard soil and nutrients in silage farming
Thief of soil is soil erosion. Unprotected corn ground loses two to four tons per acre yearly. A winter cover crop and conservation tillage reduce erosion. Barley, wheat, rye recycle nitrogen and protect future yields. Hairy vetch with rye fixes organic nitrogen and aids no till. Call the soil conservation office at 473-4755.
