Cover Crops and Prevented Planting Guidelines

There are thousands upon Thousands of acres - mainly in the upper Midwest not planted in early June 2013.
There are thousands upon thousands of acres – mainly in the upper Midwest still not planted in early June 2013.

Over the past few weeks I have heard from countless farmers in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, and Iowa that are considering taking prevented planting on all or parts of their farms. Growers Edge just published an excellent piece Prevented Planting Guidelines. 

Also see my articles on Prevented Planting Row Crop Acres – Which Cover Crops Can Help? and Summer Annual Grasses for Cover Crops for Prevented Planting Acres that may also be helpful.
