COVER CROP CONSIDERATIONS
Cover Crops best work their magic with a plan in place covering at least a few future plantings. Questions to ask before planting include:
Primary Goals?
Graze, build organic matter, reduce compaction, etc.
Following Cash Crop?
The majority of the cover crop mixture should be a different crop type than the following cash crop.
Warm Species?
If planting later than August 10, do not include warm-season species in planting considerations.
Overwintering?
Cereal grains most consistently overwinter i.e. cereal rye, winter wheat, triticale, etc.
Herbicide Half-Life?
Herbicides break down by microbes, sunlight, organic matter level, pH, etc.
Planting Options?
Drilling after small grain/silage/corn/soybeans, aerial seeding, or full season.

ABOUT US
As part of an international movement toward agricultural sustainability, cover crops are considered key to managing soil quality, erosion, water, weeds, pests, diseases, pollinators, and wildlife. Our goal became to create a ‘toolbox’ of warm and cool-season cover crops and mixes to help farmers – in all regions and production systems – protect and enhance their soil between cash crop plantings.
The Bio Till Cover Crops brand was created in 2005 to encompass the cover crop products that were of particular interest to the no-till, strip-till, and conservation-minded communities. While strategic use of cover crops adds organic matter to the soil and reduces the need for tillage, studies have shown dramatic increases in active and total soil organic matter under continuous no-tillage systems. Over the years, we have continually added high-performing new products including Bounty Annual Ryegrass, Enricher Radish, Newbie Sugar Beets, Shield Broadleaf Mustard, Bayou Kale, African Forage Cabbage and Mihi Persian Clover throughout the Midwest and the rest of the world.
Bio Till Cover Crops have consistently been at the forefront of the cover crop market, and our ‘family’ of professional sales staff and superior product lines remain committed to helping our customers achieve higher returns through more productive soils.
Our Mission
Bio Till Cover Crops is dedicated to the expansion of the cover crop market by offering a superior, proven product matched with agronomic support from our outstanding team at a fair and competitive price point.
