First and foremost, Claybrook Acres, LTD. is dedicated to providing the highest quality cover crop seeds to our dealers. With roots on our 2,300 acre farm in west central Ohio and with our 150+ dealers nationwide, we have tested everything we sell. We believe the quality of product farmers put into the soil has a direct relationship to the success of accomplishing the key objectives of cover cropping, such as nitrogen production, nitrogen scavenging, erosion prevention, weed suppression, etc.

 

Education First...

​

We are solely focused on providing you the best available seed and the knowledge base of how to properly cover crop. We are constantly discussing and implementing cover crop selections, seeding and terminating techniques. As such, we are focused on training and educating all of our dealers on a regular basis to allow their customers to succeed in planting cover crops, which in turn allows the dealers to succeed in their business of selling cover crops.

To better understand soil health, The Ohio State University denes soil health as “an assessment of ability of a soil to meet its range of ecosystem functions as appropriate to its environment. It also refers to the condition of the soil, including its ecosystems (minerals, nutrients, and microbial activity), pH, and structure. The Soil Science Society denes soil health as the capacity of a specic kind of soil to function, within natural or managed ecosystem boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality, and support human health and habitation.”

 

The main core objectives include, nitrogen producing, nutrient scavenging, soil building, subsoiling, topsoil loosening, preventing erosion, creating lasting residue, ghting weeds, producing a grazing crop and producing a good forage crop. Additional benets that can be obtained include but are not limited to improving water quality and improving wildlife habitats.
