Looking at planting triticale with hairy vetch and cow peas for a cover crop next year for a cash crop or corn to be planted late May 2021 using a roller crimper to terminate the cover crop before plant. It’s October 18th, I won’t be able to plant until the 22nd. Night time temps have fluctuated from mid 30s to high 20s no consistency yet. Some nights stay closer to 40. Highs are in the 70s and 80s. Am I too late for any of my covers? Any suggestions on planting rates? Will triticale terminate properly if I follow the method used for Rye, waiting until the entire field is dropping pollen?

What about organic hemp? Since one cannot use pesticides on hemp at this time anyway, it may be better suited for organic production. However, organic production provides its own challenges for any crop. Plus, to carry the label “organic”, the land the item is produced on has to be certified organic by being out of conventional agricultural production for three years...
