A corn and soybean farmer who strip-tills and uses cover crops is putting his equipment away for the season.
Wayne Fredericks of Osage in north-central Iowa says his cover crop that was flown into standing corn around the end of August looks very good.
“We had some timely rainfall after that aerial application, so that rye is six to eight inches tall. And now that the corn crop has been harvested and you get more sunlight to it, that’s going to grow pretty aggressively here yet this fall.”
Speaking to Brownfield Tuesday, he says his cereal rye was drilled into soybean stubble right behind the combine.
