Cover crops are essential for boosting the nutritional content of the soil, which naturally diminishes with the routine planting of crops. Cover crops not only prevent erosion but also reintroduce nitrogen into the soil and, thus, are vital for operations ranging from large commercial farms to a personal backyard garden. However, finding cover crop seed is not an easy task and it is important to partner with a reliable source to generate quality results. Forage Complete is that reliable source and is a leading supplier of cover crops and organic seed products.

Agriculture has evolved tremendously over the years…the days of a simple horse-drawn plow and hand-harvesting with sickles and scythes are gone and we now have high-yield and genetically-modified hybrid seeds and massive self-driving tractors and combines.

Numerous agriculture revolutions have taken place over the years, through their long-term effects were far from positive. The quality of the soil and yield has worsened as a result of excessive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and, for this reason, cover crops are being introduced to attain maximum productivity.

These crops offer an excellent crop rotation to organically manage the soil’s fertility while preventing soil-borne diseases and soil-dwelling insects. Each of these cover crops has its own distinctive characteristics and benefits and provides nutrient-rich elements that can greatly improve fertility. Adding these into a crop cycle adds a unique and natural blend of healthy, non-threatening fertilizers into the soil.

According to recent research conducted by environmental groups in the United States, numerous health risks are associated with genetically modified crops or GMOs. As a result, consumers are increasingly demanding non-GMO foods.

The Importance of Alfalfa in Farming Operations

Famously known as “The Forage Queen,” alfalfa is one of the most important forage crops in the world. The United States produces more alfalfa than any other country in the world and the top states in terms of overall production are California, Idaho, and Montana. In addition to its value for cattle grazing, hay and silage, alfalfa is very beneficial to organic farming operations as a cover crop and green manure.It reduces expenditures on nitrogen-based fertilizers since, in comparison to other crops—particularly legumes—alfalfa organically introduces higher levels of nitrogen into the soil. Alfalfa is an important crop because of its high biomass production and without the need for supplemental irrigation. As an animal feed, alfalfa is an outstanding staple for horses, cattle (dairy and beef), sheep, chickens, turkeys and other animals. It acts as a rich source of essential vitamins (A, E, K, D, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, and U), minerals (calcium, potassium, manganese, sulfur, an

Alfalfa is among the most important forage crops in the world. Also known as “The Forage Queen,” it is one the top five crops grown in the United States (the others are corn, soybean, wheat and cotton). What makes it so special? Read below to find out.   Where Does Alfalfa Grow? Alfalfa grows in most of the US. The largest producers include California, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota and North Dakota. According to research, the average annual yield of alfalfa in the US is approximately 3.35 tons per acre. Farmers often grow it with several other plants, including legumes and grasses. Alfalfa is frequently used in biomass energy production. Also, it fixes more nitrogen than any legume crop can. This allows farmers to grow other crops easier and reduce their reliance on expensive nitrogen fertilizers.   Alfalfa in Animal Feed Alfalfa makes excellent animal feed. Not only is it a rich source of minerals and vitamins, it also contains up to 22% of crude protein. It contains vitam

The Importance of the Cover Crop Seed in Organic Farming

Organic farming is sustainable, profitable and healthy. Organic food gives consumers a nutritious and ethical alternative to the products of industrial agriculture. Organic farming involves using natural fertilizers such as cover crops (also known as “green manure”) and compost manure. Farmers also use techniques like companion planting, mixed planting, crop rotation and biological pest control to produce the best crops. Cover crop seed helps nurture soil in a variety of ways. The biggest benefits of using green manure or cover crops include: • Inhibits soil erosion by water and wind – When a piece of farmland is left bare, it is vulnerable to water and wind erosion. The roots of cover crops hold the soil in place and keep it from getting washed or blown away. They protect the rich topsoil and prevent the compaction of the soil underneath. • They add organic matter to the soil - The matter from organic crops enhances the soil in which it is planted. It provides the soil wit
