MSU Extension researcher
Tim Harrigan planted plots into a wheat stubble field using slurry seeding,
which uses a combination of low disturbance tillage, hog manure and cover crop
seed planted all in one pass. The plots include turnips and radishes, alone,
and in combination with oats, both with and without manure, and drilled
compared to slurry seeding.
