In NW Minnesota, the period between crops that is conducive to plant growth and development is limited. There are many cropping systems used in this region, but one of the most important rotations is wheat-soybean. However, there is limited research about managing cover crops in this region. Because of the short growing season, the easiest place to include a cover crop in NW Minnesota would be after wheat harvest in fields that will be planted to soybeans the following spring.

There are many questions about how to manage cover crops in a wheat-soybean rotation when planted following wheat and before soybean. What is the best type of cover crop to use - a winter annual like cereal rye...
