The reasons to cover the land this fall with a cover crop are as follows:
GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND
Plus important erosion control
You will be able to stablize your site and build soil. Cover crops for winter are; winter rye, wheat, barley, ryegrass, and hairy vetch, crimson clover. They help protect the soil from erosion by protecting it from intensive rainstorms as well as providing a physical barrier to runoff. Cover crops even help to build new topsoil by adding organic matter to the soil. A cover crop chosen for erosion control provides a quick and dense cover at the desired time of the year. During this time of the year, the otherwise bare soil is protected from erosion. After the cover crop is killed, surface residue mulch created by the dead cover crop also provides protection against erosion.
