Aerially seeded cover thriving after drought

摘要

When it rains, it pours. This summer has proved to be a very dry and challenging season In South Africa.Ironically, it is now so wet that we are now struggling to harvest this crop that nearly died in the drought! While the rain is bad for harvesting, it is good for my cover crops. I flew a cover-crop mix (mainly oats and brassica species) over my maize fields a few months ago.
