---

Cover crops grow in a field in Evansville, Indiana, USA prior to corn being planted on 13th of May 2021. The cover crops are made of a diverse 12 seed mix including cereal rye, triticale, annual rye, rape, black oats, balansa fixation clover, Kentucky Pride Crimson, Hairy vetch, Australian winter peas, red clover, turnips and winter barley. Cover crops are planted to cover the soil, rather than being harvested. Cover crops reduce soil erosion and water that runsoff a field.
