Aerial seeding into standing corn

Last week we spread a winter kill mix into standing corn at 2-3 lb/ac for a customer who wants to do some fall grazing after harvest.

Aerial seeding in September while the corn is still standing helps give the plants more time to grow before colder temperatures set in.

Being a dealer for Iowa Cover Crop allows us to offer a huge variety of seed and mixes. If there's something you are looking for, we can probably get it.

Relay rye harvest 2026

Relay rye harvest 2026

We harvested our relay rye last week. If you haven't seen relay cropping before - the combine is cutting rye seed while this year's soybean crop is already growing underneath it. Same field, two crops.

Rye yields were down a bit from normal, probably due to the early spring weather, but the soybeans look terrific. Don't worry - we will still have plenty of rye available this fall. Contact us to reserve yours: hgcovercrop.com
