Buckwheat is a fast establishing broadleaf that works great as a warm season cover crop. Buckwheat is also known for being a phosphorus scavenger. This means it can take up phosphorus more efficiently than other plants. Being a short season plant with 45-60 day maturity, it can produce viable seed throughout the growing season. This reseeding ability helps it suppress weeds. Additionally, buckwheat is fast to flower, making it a great species for pollinators. Buckwheat can be a great addition to grazing mixes as well.

Faba beans are one of the oldest plants under cultivation, having been grown in ancient Greece and Rome. Unlike other beans, they can tolerate cool, wet soils. While they may not overwinter in much of the US, they can survive a light frost which is advantageous if planted in a fall or spring mix. As a legume, these beans will fix nitrogen in the soil for other plants to use. Their tremendous root system will help break compaction and hold soil in place. Faba beans do not like heat and when the plants die they turn black.

Flax works well as a cover crop in many small grain and corn rotations. The overall nutrient demand for flax is low and very little nitrogen is needed. Because flax is a broadleaf species, most diseases associated with it will not transfer over and cause infection to corn, soybeans, or wheat with the exception of powdery mildew and rhizoctonia after legumes. Flax can be utilized as a green manure if terminated early enough but take caution if attempting to cut too late as lignin/cellulose content increase with maturity and would hamper decomposition. Pollinators are attracted to the various blue/purple colors of the flowers that can last for 2-4 weeks.

Proso millet is one of the most drought tolerant and cost effective annual grasses. It is the shortest growing millet though it grows taller in the northern plains than it might in the central or southern plains. Heading out in less than 60 days, this is a great plant for game bird mixes.

Sesame is a warm season broadleaf that is normally grown for the oil content of the seed. It is one of the oldest cultivated plants and has been grown by people for over 4,000 years. Sesame loves hot weather and can grow with very limited water as well as being fairly tolerant of low pH soils. Sesame can grow 5-6 feet tall and will put on bell-shaped, white and purple flowers late in the season which makes it a great addition to a full season pollinator mix. Sesame has little to no forage value as livestock will not graze it, but it can still be a good addition to a grazing mix as left over residue.
