SF Corn Interseed
SF Corn Interseed contains 80% ColdSnap annual ryegrass and 20% crimson clover, designed to be used as a warm-season corn cover crop. ColdSnap™ Annual Ryegrass is a winter-hardy variety bred for root mass and biomass production. Although it is used across the Midwest in cover crop plantings, ColdSnap™ Annual Ryegrass is a good fit in hay and grazing systems across the majority of the Corn Belt. Crimson annual red clover is a rapid growing, single season clover. It fixes a moderate level of nitrogen into the soil but doesn’t handle cold temperatures.
