This webinar will focus on management strategies for planting into high biomass (>6" depth and 10,000 lbs. of residue) to ensure good stands.
High biomass cover crops are a key to improving soil health, with many farmers growing an additional 10,000 lbs. or more of plant material resulting in a thick (>6") layer of mulch. These conditions require a different strategy for planting to ensure good seed to soil contact. This webinar will cover adjustments to planter, drills and other equipment to ensure good seed to soil contact.
