Some Cover Crops are Drawing to a Close

As frost nears (see last post) we are keeping an eye on our cover crop variety trials. We have a pretty good idea on most of our species that will winter kill, such as oats and radish, however some are unknown how they will behave in this climate. The early planting of oats and radish is doing well with lots of biomass, however our later planting is just starting to slowly take off. It is doubtful this will see major growth in the next few days/weeks prior to frost. Hopefully you can attend the upcoming cover crop walk on Friday the 23rd and see for yourself what the individual species are doing.
