Cereal rye is an “old standby” cover crop. It is widely known as the most winter hardy cover crop with the widest planting window, good rooting system, and ease of termination. The addition of oats helps to boost soil biology while the rape has an intense root system that helps to break up surface compaction.[/info_list_item][info_list_item list_title=”WinterKill” list_icon=”Defaults-plus”]Oat/Radish (22lb/ac)
