 Example Cover Crop Used For Soil Building or With Grazing After Corn Harvest
Direct Seeding With A Hagie/Montag Seeder In Standing Corn

(See below video and photos, specific information about this seeding and a unique opportunity for
land in a portion of the Upper Wakarusa, WRAPS Priority Area for cost-share assistance.)

Shawnee County Conservation District Board member David Drimmel rides along with Matt Wyckoff of Prime Ag Services in a Hagie/Montag Interseeder.  The Interseeder is blowing a cover crop mix of rye, turnips and radishes directly on the ground into one of Mike Musick’s corn fields.  For 2021, landowners or operators may use the Hagie/Montag Interseeder at no cost on land within the Upper Wakarusa Priority Area.  Funding for the machine is through the Upper Wakarusa Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies program which offers technical assistance and cost share to landowners and producers in the priority area to reduce soil erosion and nutrient runoff.  Landowners or operators outside the watershed’s priority area can also use the machine by working with Prime Ag Services.

If interested in using the Interseeder within the Upper Wakarusa Priority Area, contact your WRAPS Coordinator:
