Rye after harvest doesn't cut it if you're serious about maximizing biodiversity. Corn interseeding offers the opportunity to get additional diversity in before fall temps limit your options. Plus, the value from grazing that cover crop helps corn interseeding make sense economically. Read our 2025 Corn Interseeding Report to learn more: zurl.co/p18yE Photos courtesy of Brian McClerran.

Could interseeding cover crops into your corn help maximize profits this year? The answer depends on your operation but we believe it can, especially when you integrate livestock. Our 2025 Corn Interseeding Trials offer valuable insights into the benefits of growing a cover crop alongside your cash crop. Download the report here: zurl.co/XPfCN And we're not the only ones seeing results. Hear how Illinois farmer Greg Thoren is finding success with interseeded cover crops in his corn in episode #9 of the Green Cover podcast: zurl.co/k7DLf Curious about how cover crops could work in your row crop operation?

To many corn farmers, this photo might look like a nightmare... But to those who see the value in maximizing diversity, this photo inspires a curiosity and innovation that is setting a new standard for regenerative agriculture. Cover cropping and introducing diversity in the "off-season" when your cash crop isn't growing is awesome and brings a massive benefit to your soil. Each different plant species performs a distinct function and provides unique root exudates that feed and support different species of microbiology. But what happens when we terminate that diverse cover crop and plant a monoculture corn crop for half of the year? There are ways that we can extend the benefit of our cover crop to continue feeding soil biology during the cash crop season. Making sure that we grow sufficient biomass both above and below ground, applying compost or foliar sprays or utilizing biologicals are just a few ideas. But imagine the benefit to your soil if we could take it one step forward to grow a diversity of plants throughout the entire growing season. Think of the biology you could support in the soil! All of that being said, corn interseeding may not work in every person's context and it's important to discuss a thoughtful plan before moving forward. Our team is always happy to walk through a plan that will work for your context.

Many worry about the potential for yield loss with corn interseeding. But what if you could make up for those few lost bushels with a high value, high quality forage crop? In our newest podcast, Greg Thoren shares about how practices like corn interseeding have made his Illinois farm profitable.

Maximizing biodiversity constitutes one of the 6 soil health principles yet in a traditional monocrop situation such as a corn and bean rotation, maximizing biodiversity can seem like an unachievable task. Sure, adding a cover crop behind the corn or beans can help keep the ground covered over the winter, but generally once the cash crop comes off the field in the fall the only viable cover crop option is rye. The question becomes “When can I add diversity to my corn and bean rotation?” From a practical standpoint the best time to add diversity to any system is during the peak growing season, when temperatures are high and days are warm. For this reason, many farmers are looking to corn interseeding to introduce diversity into their system. Check out our most recent podcast episode with Nebraska farmer, Scott Richert who describes his extensive experience with corn interseeding on his operation.

Are you looking to add diversity to your corn crop to improve soil health? If so, you may be interested in corn interseeding and if that's the case, you probably have questions... How do I implement this strategy? What cover crops work best? What should my corn row spacing be? How will my corn yields be impacted? What are my herbicide options? To help answer these questions the team at Green Cover has run corn interseeding trials for the last 3 years, testing the best cover crop species, row spacing and collecting information on yield. You can download our 2024 Corn Interseeding Trials Report to access our observations and learnings from these plots: zurl.co/YuRvL If you'd like a chance to ask your burning questions on corn interseeding and see our trial plots in person you can attend our Soil Health Field Days in Bladen, NE on August 12th and 15th. We'll have the whole Green Cover team there prepared to give you the information you need to have success with corn interseeding! #CornInterseeding #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #CoverCrops #CornInterseed
