 Welcome
to Green Cover Seed - your source for No-till Cover Crop Seed and Cover
Crop Seed Mixes.
Our
2000+ acre farm in south central Nebraska has been 100% continuous no-till
for over 12 years and we have been working hard for the last several years
to research and incorporate cover crops into our no-till system. We
have researched cover crop water usage, cover crop nutrient content, and
cover crop effect on following crops and our findings are both exciting
and encouraging. We invite you to explore our website to learn more
about the unique opportunities cover crops can
offer you to increase soil structure, organic matter, biological life,
water infiltration rate, nutrient cycling, and wildlife. Click on

We are excited to announce that Green Cover Seed is now
an official dealer for the Nitro Radish.
Nitro radishes are a special selection of
the Daikon oil
seed radish and are developed and grown by seed professionals in the
Willamette Valley of Oregon.
The
Nitro Radish
will grow deeper, straighter and more consistent roots than common oil
seed radishes and are thus more
effective at breaking soil hardpans and cycling nutrients.
We feel that the Nitro Radish has superior
genetics over common VNS oil seed radish and will be a great addition to
the cover crop mixes that we offer.
For more information on what makes the Nitro
Radish superior, visit

Remember Green Cover Seed is your authorized Nitro Radish dealer for
Nebraska, Kansas, and surrounding states.

Cover Crop Benefits
Cover crops have many benefits: enhanced soil
biology, improved soil structure, increased infiltration, reduced
erosion, weed suppression, nutrient cycling, and beneficial to wildlife
are just a few of the cover crop benefits we have seen.

 4th Annual Cover
Crop School
was
held Oct.
27th 2011 – featuring Dr. Jill Clapperton
The 2011 school
was hosted out of our new Green Cover Seed warehouse
and office complex. Dr. Jill Clapperton, one of the world’s
leading experts on soil biology and cover crops was our featured
teacher. The school included demonstration plots of
over 80 different cover crop species and mixes on various soil types and
conditions. We also had demonstrations and explanations of tissue
sampling methods, soil pit analysis, no-till seeding equipment and much
more.

Cover Crop Research
Green Cover Seed not only sells cover crop seed
and mixes, but because we are no-till farmers ourselves, we use them as
well. We have conducted numerous cover crop studies as well as have
compiled cover crop research from other sources. |
