With more than 20 years of growing cover crops under his belt, Ralph "Junior" Upton has seen firsthand their benefits in no-till farm. The Springerton, Illinois, farmer has also experienced some of the challenges cover crops can bring."I want fall-seeded cover crops to develop until spring planting in order to get the fullest advantage out of cover crop biomass and root development," he explains. "Doing this can create difficulties, however, when planting corn into heavy, green residue."
