The Annual Summer Honey Mix was developed in conjunction with the Nebraska Beekeepers Association. This annual honey mix is specially designed with annual species that will offer up copious amounts of nectar for honeybees during the entire season. Plant when ground temperatures reach 50-55°F from mid-April to late May in Zone 5 (earlier in Zone 6 and later in Zone 4). 1/8” planting depth is ideal, no deeper than 1/4” in planting depth. Can be drilled or broadcast seeded, but if broadcast double the suggested rate (indicated on seed mix packaging) is desirable. If overseeding without any site prep (i.e. tillage, chemical treatment, etc.) then 4 times the suggested rate is desired for quality seed coverage. Even though this is an annual mix there can be an early spring mowing during a dormant phase that might be in early April, allowing these plants to reseed themselves and have a second year of blooms following a successful first year of growth. Use this mix to... feed honeybees attract pollinators add diversity Ideal for... beekeepers pollinator enthusiasts These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

With extremely rapid growth, browntop millet can fill narrow growing windows to produce a nice quality forage. Under ideal conditions seed will germination within 5 days and forage or seed will be ready to harvest within two months time. Very fine stems and leaves allows plant material to dry down effectively for dry hay production. Browntop millet is an effective nurse crop, much like oats, in stabilizing erosive hill slopes and providing cover for slower growing target species to become established. Research has shown browntop helps to suppress root-knot nematode within the soil. This species is very inexpensive, providing a full stand for less than $15 an acre. With the ability to easily reseed and that seed to remain viable in the soil profile for years, makes browntop millet an excellent regenerating food plot for wildlife.

Notice: This product may NOT be used for grain production, seed production, or mechanically harvested forage. Rye has an excellent fibrous root system that alleviates surface compaction. Rye can be successful planted later then almost any other cover crop due to its low germination and growth temperature requirements. Cereal rye is known for being the best cereal crop at retaining residual N. It's typical for a fall planted cereal rye crop to scavenge on average 25 to 50 lbs of N, with cases scavenging in excess of 100 lbs of N. The vigorous spring growth has successful weed suppression through competition and allelopathic chemicals. Rye can be terminated in the spring through the alternative methods of rolling, mowing, or crimping after boot stage. Rye will out yield any other cereal crops when planted in droughty, infertile, or sandy soils.

Adding diversity in a corn and soybean rotation is often difficult due to the short season left after harvest. To help with this, many producers are considering interseeding their corn at V3-V5 stage. At this stage, the corn gets the head start it needs but still allows light to bring up the cover crop before the canopy closes. This corn interseeding blend introduces all four functional groups - legumes, grasses, brassicas, and broadleaves - to add diversity to the soil. With more root exudates, beneficial insect attraction, and nutrient cycling, this blend helps build soil alongside the corn. Plus, after corn harvest, the already established species can continue to grow with the newfound sunlight. The green material also boosts nutritional values for grazing stalks.  The Corn Interseeding Mix is an excellent option for corn producers looking to add diversity in their rotation while still producing a corn crop.  Use this mix to... add diversity build soil organic matter improve nutrient cycling Ideal for... row crop farmers corn producers These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

Hairy vetch is the most cold tolerant winter annual legume. Tolerating temperatures as low as -30 degrees, this is best planted before the first frost in the fall and then it will resume growth in the spring. Hairy vetch is slower to green up and has slower spring growth compared to cereal rye and wheat but once it does get going, it grows very fast, doubling it’s growth each week through the month of May. With patience and a delayed corn planting, a full stand of vetch can consistently produce over 200 lbs of nitrogen in its biomass. As part of a winter cover crop or forage mix, vetch is commonly grown with rye or triticale.

Check out our Quick Start Guide on Cover Crops in the Garden. Ingredients Balansa Clover, Winter Peas, Cereal Rye, Winter Barley, Black Oats, Rapeseed, Hairy Vetch, Elevate'd Fungi Inoculant, and RhizoBac X-Tend Inoculant Though these seeds are not sourced from organic production, our seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides. All inoculants are manufactured to organic standard. Planting  Broadcast and lightly incorporate 4-6 weeks before first frost. Minimum Germination Temperature: 40 °FBroadcast Seeding Rate: 2 lbs/1000 square feet (90 lbs per acre) Timing For best results, plant 4-6 weeks before the first average frost date during the fall. Planting can continue even through the first few frosts but the mix will likely not grow much in the fall and spring growth will be only from the most winter hardy species in the mix, likely rye, barley, and vetch. Termination For no-till applications, we recommend terminating Overwintering mix by crimping or mowing with a flail mower followed by a tarp for 2 weeks before your desired planting date. The cereal grains will crimp better when they are mature. When rye is shedding its pollen, it is ready for crimping. However, if you can't wait to plant, crimping can still be successful even when the plant is not yet mature if it is followed with a tarp to ensure that it is effectively terminated. Overwintering mix can also be terminated by tilling and incorporating as a green manure. Where the context allows, grazing can be effective at terminating overwintering mix if it is followed by a silage tarp. On a very small scale, cutting with a hand sickle or turning the soil over with a shovel and following with a tarp can also be effective.

Rape's rapid forage growth produces quality pasture equivalent to alfalfa, with a crude protein value around 16-17%. Boasted for its nutrient scavenging abilities, rape can accumulate potentially large amounts of residual N up to 120lbs N/A. Also, root exudates secreted by rape are known to aid in turning insoluble P into a more available form. Rapes seed cost is by far the cheapest of all the brassica species, generally less than $1/lb. Adding rape in between wheat crops has been shown to greatly reduce take-all in wheat. Rape has an excellent, deep penetrating tap-root with a dense fibourous root mass surrounding the tuber.

SolarMaxx is a photoperiod sensitive sorghum sudangrass designed to be used in both diverse cover crop mixes as well as for forage production. The photoperiod sensitivity is an increased benefit to anyone who wants to have a full season plant with multi harvest possibilities. Photoperiod sensitivity means that the plant will not go reproductive until the daytime hours get to 12 hours and 20 minutes. The flexibility of these genetics gives the producer time to either react to making a harvest, or allow time for moisture to come and allow the plant to grow again. Since seedhead emergence is so late the threat of volunteer seed is little to none.

Lentils thrive in cool, dry conditions where they can remain relatively free of disease, hence they are commonly grown in the northern Great Plains. With a shallow rooting structure that doesn't have the ability to reach subsoil moisture, lentils are a great option in front of cereals or deep rooting crops. If excessive moisture is present during the growing season it will delay plant maturity. This will be excellent for producers who want to plant a summer fallow mixture where the mix can continue to grow under ideal conditions. Lentils are known for their ability to emerge through thick cereal stubble due to their strong seedling vigor. With rapid seed germination, seedlings generally out grow the threat of insects or disease pressure during establishment. Lentils can also house mycorrhizal fungi. Mature lentil straw can be an option for feed as it is much higher in CP, digestibility and palatability when compared to cereal straws.

Austrian winter peas are good companions to fall mixes, especially when combined with hairy vetch. If planted in early fall, there can be good growth for fall grazing as a protein source in the mix and they will grow much later into the fall than spring peas. In order to maximize winter survival chances, winter peas need to be planted relatively late (about the middle of wheat planting season) and deep, up to 3 inches. These conditions will help protect the growing point of the pea and assists in survival in colder climates.
