  • Excellent early fall cover crop potential after silage corn, small grains or early soybeans

Excellent companion with fall oats

I have been including Berseem at 5-10 lbs/acre with oats planted late August to mid-September in northern WI. It grows at a similar rate as the oats giving a solid stand. I usually graze fields of Berseem/oats in October with sheep, moving them through quickly, then leave the stand for the winter (it catches snow adding soil protection). In the spring this is often my nicest ground to work for vegetables (my main crop) with excellent tilth. Great product.
