One Pass Only: Seeding Cover Crops While Harvesting

[@macster5187]

The unfortunate bottleneck we all seem to be hitting is the capacity of these systems vs a drill or spreader. I would point folks to look at species outside of cereal grain family and figure how many acres you can cover with that, or if you're willing to accept a far reduced rate of something like oats or rye. Last year had a really good trial with a mix containing brassicas and hairy vetch, reduced rate rye with hairy vetch, and there's other interesting options left to try. The big thing most of us are not seeking to do is stop the combine and tender seed more than once or maybe twice in an average day. It can be done, just have to find the threshold you can adopt without upsetting the rest of the system. I'm using a hopper on the combine broadcast using the chaff spreader. In the fall rush, that's additional farms getting cover that wouldn't make it if waiting on me to spread them seperate. High erosion risk slopes
