SMSU has 15 acres of land made available by a local alumni and farmer. 2019 will be the fifth season this plot has been established and available for SMSU students for hands on learning. As well as learning, contractedresearch has been performed for Agricultural Companies on these acres.
The goal of this project is to evaluate the optimal time to inter-seed cover crops while simultaneously applying nitrogen. While this practice has become more popular, very little field-scale research has been conducted to determine how early we can inter-seed cover crops to maximize their benefit while still maintaining yield.
