Over-sowing forage or cover crops into senescent maize
This Pathfinder Farm is hosted by Dion Fleming at Rongotea, near Palmerston North.
Post-maize cover crops are common in Waikato, but in Manawatu-Rangitikei, later maize grain harvest and often wetter soil conditions rule make this practice impossible in most years. On this Pathfinder Farm cover crops were planted in standing maize via helicopter.
