Cover Crops
A cover crop is a crop of a specific plant that is grown primarily for the benefit of the soil rather than the crop yield. Cover crops are commonly used to suppress weeds, manage soil erosion, help build and improve soil fertility and quality, control diseases and pests, and promote biodiversity.
Rye is a 3-6 feet tall, cool season, annual grass used for livestock forage, hay, wildlife food, cover crops, green manure, and weed suppression.
Seeding Rate: 55 to 100 lbs. per acre
The Oats is a grain that is a quick growing green manure that will kill off any winter weeds and will hold soil with a mat of vegetation. The oats stay green into November and form a mulched bed for spring planting.
Seeding Rate: 30 to 50 lbs. per acre
Winter wheat cover crops are designed to lessen erosion from runoff of water and wind and to retain the soil. They also contribute to the reduction of mineral leaching and compaction, suppress the amount of weed growth, reduce insect pests and diseases, and increase crop yield.
Seeding Rate: 50 to 90 lbs. per acre
Using triticale as a cover crop is similar to using rye—in terms of seeding rate and application—but triticale is a little lower in lignin content and later heading than rye. Like rye, triticale also makes an excellent spring emergency forage.
It is a bunch type grass with upright tillers just like wheat and rye. Leaves are rolled in the whorl. Triticale has a spike with one spikelet per node each containing several florets. The stems grow upright, have hollow internodes, and are smooth.
Seeding Rate: 50 to 90 lbs. per acre
Turnips are an excellent cover crop when grazing will take place on the cover crop. They are good at capturing nitrogen and have the ability to suppress weeds. They are good for extending the grazing period on a field and work best when mixed with grass or cereal-type cover crops for maximum benefit.
Seeding Rate: 1 to 4 lbs. per acre
Cover crops can control erosion, build soil, and suppress weeds. Radish as a cover crop can provide these benefits and more. The long radish root creates deep channels in the soil that can make it easier for subsequent crops to reach water in the soil below. Radish is also known to benefit water quality.
Seeding Rate: 8 to 15 lbs. per acre

Soil Sampling
The main benefit of soil sampling is improved yields and economic return. Soil sampling is the first step in fertilizer management. Taking the time to sample will allow growers to use fertilizer in an efficient manner, saving both time and money.
How to Take Soil Samples
Important: Accurate soil analysis with meaningful interpretation requires properly taken samples. Follow all directions carefully and correctly. Sampling technique presents the greatest chance for errors in results. Laboratory analytic work will not improve the accuracy of a sample that does not represent the area.
Collect samples using chrome plated or stainless-steel sampling tubes or augers. A clean spade or shovel can also be used. Avoid galvanized, bronze or brass tools. Use clean, plastic buckets. Do not use galvanized or rubber buckets, as they will contaminate the samples.
Sampling can take place during any period of the year. However, it is best to sample a field at about the same time of year. Wait a minimum of thirty days to sample after applications of fertilizer, lime, or sulfur.
Samples must be representative of the area you are treating. Most often, sampling by soil color is an acceptable method for dividing large fields into “like” areas. County ASCS aerial photographs can be used as a guide. Areas that differ in slope, drainage, past treatment, etc. should be sampled separately. Sampling across dissimilar soil types is not recommended. And finally, the sample area should be large enough for special lime or fertilizer treatments.
Always remember to remove any surface debris prior to sampling.
Do Not Sample:
- Dead or back furrows
- Fence rows, old or new
- Old roadbeds, or near limestone gravel roads
- Terrace channels
- Wind breaks or snow fence lines
- Turn-rows
- Spill areas
- Fertilizer bands including Anhydrous N.
- Unusual or abnormal spots
Sampling depth must remain consistent because many soils are stratified and variation in depth will introduce errors into the analytic results.
Various studies have shown that proper sampling requires at least 10 cores per sample, and sometimes 15 or more cores depending on the nature of the soil and the size of the area being sampled. A smaller number can introduce variability into the results from different sampling years. There is no rule for the number of acres to include in a single sample. This must depend on the local situation. However, the University of Illinois has long recommended that a single sample should represent no more than 5 acres. Very small sampling areas, such as residential landscape plants and some small gardens may use fewer cores per sample.
Allow the soil to dry and then thoroughly mix the randomly taken core samples in a plastic bucket and remove a separate, well-mixed composite sample (½ to 1 pint) from the mixture. Place it into a new plastic sandwich bag. Ensure that all bags are labeled with the correct field name.
When delivering to Belmont Mills the following information will be requested:
• Field Identification
• Number of acres
• The last crop grown
• The crop being planted
• Expected yield
Once the results have been received by Belmont Mills a copy will be shared with the grower, along with a suggested application for each field sampled. At this point the grower will be able to work with the team at Belmont Mills to create a plan 100% customized to the needs of each field.
Fertilizer
In order for a plant to grow and thrive, it needs a number of important chemical elements. The three most important are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K). These three nutrients are normally displayed on each bag and are listed as a percentage. Each of these nutrients affects plant growth differently and Belmont Mills Inc. carries a wide variety of fertilizers to meet your specific needs. Nitrogen (N) provides the plant with the ability to produce chlorophyll which allows the plant to turn dark green and grow quickly. Phosphorus (P) aids in root development, allowing the plant to take in more moisture and nutrients. Potassium (K) helps guard the plant against disease and aids in drought protection and cold tolerance.
Belmont Mills Inc. can assist you in making the right fertilizer choice to help produce greener results. Options for purchase include:
