[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1318351, member: 1715"] The biologically best approach is to plant a full season cover crop mix. You need the mix to be heavy in warm season grasses like corn and SS to get tonnage and utilize the N. I am not a big millet fan due to relatively low production. If you want to cheapen up the mix use some bin run oats. The trick is to not plant too many brassicas because they sprout right away and can choke out warm season grasses. A pound per acre goes a long way. You can graze cover crop twice in the north, thus avoiding frost fears, but the second crop will be short and mostly clover or brassicas. The warm season grasses are one and done in a complex mix. [/QUOTE]
