About cover crops

Cover crop seeding by drone has become one of the fastest-growing ag drone applications in the Midwest. Operators broadcast cereal rye, annual ryegrass, crimson clover, and custom blends into standing corn and soybeans weeks before harvest. This gives seed extra establishment time, meets NRCS cost-share deadlines, and avoids the soil compaction that comes from driving equipment through mature crops. Seeding windows run August through October across the Corn Belt.
