Cover Crop Roller Photos
Roll the cover crop in the same direction that you plan to plant, so the crop roller should either be the same width as the planter or overlap rolling to match the planter width. If conditions are right the planter can plant regardless of how the cover was rolled. Planters usually cut through residue best when it is vegetative or very dry.
