Sunflowers grow in one of Huffman LLC's test plots as they monitor cover crop benefits.
Cover Crop - an indispensable tool
Cover crops are planted to slow erosion, enhance water availability, improve soil health, smother weeds, help control pests and diseases, increase biodiversity, and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. Here at Huffman LLC, we offer a wide variety of cover crop options and allow you to take your pick between individual products or custom blends.
Among our long list of cover crop options, you will find barley, balansa clover, crimson clover, rape, vetch, black oats, jerry oats, cereal rye, and annual rye. Get in touch with us for more information or with your custom order today!

Impact proven
In CISCO Seed's cover crop guide, nine short and long-term benefits of planting cover crop are mentioned. Some of these benefits include alleviating compaction, improving soil structure, nutrient cycling, pollinator benefits, and forage contribution.
Many organizations, such as Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education, are dedicating much time and effort into researching cover crop farming. Here at Huffman LLC, we have been observing the clear and positive difference in our own testing plots.
