Midwest Cover Crops Council Program Manager Anna Morrow says it’s getting late to put in cover crops, but there is still time for rye. “Through most of the Midwest, you’ll see cereal rye because it can tolerate the cold weather better.” Morrow says timing depends on what goals you want to achieve with the cover crop. “That’s going to depend on your cropping system, management, and amount of time you have. As a general rule, the earlier you can get planted, the more growth, biomass, and benefits you’ll get.”
