Post-Wheat Cover

Description

Post-Wheat Cover is made for... you guessed it, post wheat harvest cover. Instead of going fallow, cover your bare soil with diversity, grazing opportunity, and robust life systems.

Sunn hemp is an excellent legume for summer growth. Forage sorghum and sorghum sudan provide lots of biomass to help with weed suppression throughout the growing season. Radish and sunflower help to add diversity and break up compaction while buckwheat is a favorite among pollinators.

Use this mix to...

  • suppress weeds
  • build soil organic matter
  • improve nutrient cycling

Ideal for...

  • row crop farmers
  • small grain producers

These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi and RhizoBac X-Tend to increase the biological activity in your soil. Both products are OMRI approved.

    Arrived quicker than I thought - great packaging and the bonus journal with tons of information from subject matter experts!

    Planted ahead of rain and seeds already sprouting a couple of days later.
