Welcome to Green Cover Seed - your source for No-till Cover Crop Seed and Cover Crop Mixes.  Our 2000+ acre farm in south central Nebraska has been 100% continuous no-till for over 10 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 any of the topics below to learn more about the exciting world of cover crops.

Tillage Radishes - The Soil Quality Advantage
We are excited to announce that Green Cover Seed is now an official dealer for the Tillage Radish.  Tillage radishes are a special selection of oil seed radishes developed over the last 9 years by Steve Groff and Dr. Ray Weil.  Years of research proves that the Tillage Radish will grow deeper, straighter and more consistent roots and are thus more effective at breaking soil hardpans and cycling nutrients.  We feel that the Tillage 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 Tillage Radish superior, visit
www.tillageradish.com.  Remember Green Cover Seed is your authorized Tillage Radish dealer for Nebraska, Kansas, and surrounding states.  

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.

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.
