GOOD SOIL STARTS WITH GOOD SEED! Ag producers are discovering the benefits of using cover crops between crop rotations. Cover Crops function to reduce erosion, increase water infiltration, decrease water runoff, conserve soil water, increase organic matter, reduce compaction, reduce nitrate leaching, supply nitrogen to subsequent crops, and suppress weeds, as well as attract beneficial insects.

Dr Ray Ward of Ward Laboratories  states ” One percent organic matter contains about 1,200 pounds of nitrogen, 345 pounds of phosphorus and 150 pounds of sulfur per acre” .   The Arrow Seed company has formulated several different SoilBuilder cover crop mixtures for different crop rotations to benefit your soil.
