Check back for timely updates!

april 2012:  Its April 1st and the weather has been unseasonably warm.  This is gary spraying Roundup on our 100 acres of Ryegrass Cover crop.  The rye grass is seeded into the crop back in August.  The Rye grows sucking up all the left over nutrients in the soil profile.  This prohibits the nutrients from being lost via runoff or leaching through the soil structure.  We then kill the Rye grass in the spring and as the plant dies, the carcass releases all the sucked up nutrients back into the soil for this years crop.
