GroundHog Forage Radish - GroundHog produces more root mass than oil seed radish, allowing it to capture 150 to 200 lbs of nitrogen per acre and other nutrients that would leach out of the soil. GroundHog winter kills leaving nutients in near the surface and holes in the ground that improve water infilatration and soil aeration. Seed in the late summer at rate of 10 lbs/acre, at 1/4 inch depth. Can be grazed if seeded in combination with Pasja Forage Turnip. (SOLD OUT FOR 2009)

|
| Daikon Oil Seed Radish - A Fast growing crop cover, which absorbs nutrients preventing surface runoff or leqaching into groundwater. Large taproot has many lateral roots that losen and aerate the soil. Seed in late summer at rate of 10 lbs/acre. Unaffected by early frost, it will winter kill, leaving nutrients in the top growth |
 |
| |
|
| Brusier (Diploid) Ryegrass - Brusier can provide very rapid top growth cover that is very cold tolerant. It has roots up to three feet deep to capture nutrients, as well as break up soil compaction. Brusier is highly palatable, start grazing at 10 to 12 inches and remove animals when at 3 to 4 inches. Seed for forage purposes at 40lbs/acre and cover crop utilization at 20 lbs/acre, at 1/4 inch seeding depth. |

|
| Macan Buckwheat - Buckwheat germinates rapidly, and the dense leaf canopy shades soil smothering most weeds. Primarily used as a green manure crop it can provide 3 tons of dry matter per acre after only 6 to 8 weeks. (Buckwheat is both a source of honey and buckwheat milling flower.) Easy to establish at a seeding rate fo 50 lbs./acre, in late summer. Buckwheat is not cold tolerant, but will provide wildlife winter feeding on seeds. |

|
| Balboa Winter Ryegrain - Long used as an excellent ground cover for erosion control on a wide range of soils. It's rapid germination and top growth provides rapid cover and deep roots trap excess nutrients. Seeded in late fall at a seeding rate of 100 lbs/acre, it can be drilled or braodcast. |
 |
| |
|
| Intimidator Oats - Seeded in late summer a cover crop or as a hay crop after corn silage. Intimidator oats have upright growth, rather large wide leaves, and can grow to 5 to 7 feet tall. Foliage is normally cut for forage, and is great when seeded in combination wht Pea's. Seed at 60 lbs/acre with peas. |
