Aerial Seeding of Cover Crops

When a friend of mine mentioned she and a group of others would be working with pilots to aerial seed fall cover crops today, I asked if I might be able to stop by to watch and learn. Wow… what an education I got!

I had a very basic understanding of cover crops, but not down to the level these conservation-minded individuals do.

After talking with the producers, I was then offered a guided tour of a crop-duster aircraft. Of course I accepted the invitation to look, listen, and learn.

I am going to share some images taken this morning. To really understand the process, I encourage you to watch this video I put together. View the video by clicking on this link:
