The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) has funded evaluation of the use of early interseeded crops to extend the value of corn and soybean fields on NNY farms.

Dr. Matthew Ryan, a Cornell University Assistant Professor of Sustainable Cropping Systems, worked with two farms in the Northern New York region to evaluate the use of interseeding equipment and crops that farmers have not traditionally used as cover crops.

“This Northern New York Agricultural Development Program-funded research took a different approach in that we seeded other species including legume cover crops earlier in the year (July) directly into the corn or soybean fields,” Ryan says.

This NNYADP-funded research is contributing to a larger project with 20 other trial sites located from Maryland to Vermont.
