Planting Green: Fall Seeding Rye in Southern Wisconsin

A grower's perspective. This is one of a nine part video series on the basics of planting corn and soybean into a green living cover crop. These videos detail the basics of rye establishment the previous fall, planter set-up, weed control, water quality and soil health considerations, and a field scouting trip to see how these practices come together in the field. Thank you to everyone whom helped develop and implement this project, allowed us to visit your farm, and took time to chat with us.
