No-Till Fallow SoilBuilder Mix

Wheat Rotation (planting into corn stalks)

Planting Date: Aug 1 to Sept 15 or post fall harvest

Burndown Date: April of the following year for Soybeans. The following summer before the fall wheat crop if needed.

Mix includes: Oats, Turnips, Oil Seed Radish, Austrian Winter Pea, Lentils, Common Vetch.
Planting Rate: 25-35 Lbs / Acre

To prepare the planting bed for spring or winter wheat, consider this late summer mix of brassicas and legumes.  this mix goes right to work breaking up compaction and creating beneficial channels in the soil to encourage water infiltration.  It also breaks down quickly and encourages the establishment of microbes that also breakdown corn stover all while reducing wind and water erosion.  This mix is typically drilled into corn stalks.

Soybean Rotation

Planting Date:  Plant prior to leaf drop

Mix includes: Summer Annual Forage, Oats, Winter Wheat, Turnips, Oilseed Radish

Planting Rate:  20-35 Lbs/Acre

This high quality mix of grasses and brassicas quickly establish themselves and build a deep, strong root  base that helps break up compaction.  Soil is held tightly in place to significantly reduce erosion, and the soilwill better absorb and hold moisture through the fall and come spring.  This mix breaks down quickly and gives a boost to microbes that do the same for corn stover.  This mix is typically drilled on early harvested corn ground or air seeded prior to final irrigation.
