With the still-growing cover crop demand, a new company, Future Generation Ag, based in Leola, Pa., has been formed to provide cover crop seed and consulting advice. “U.S. agriculture has made a lot of progress in the past few years” says General Manager Wayne Ebersole.

But he’s confident of the business’ future. “We still have a long way to go in order to adequately

protect and rebuild our cropland.”

Future Generation Ag was recently launched by Ebersole, Josh Riker, Jay Lapp and Konrad Martin who worked at Cover Crop Solutions before that company was dissolved earlier this year. “We decided to try to build back the good we saw in Cover Crop Solutions,” Ebersole notes.

The new company has procured seed supplies for varieties and different cover crop mixes, all similar to those those previously sold. “We want to continue our work in the cover crop seed industry with a fresh vision for helping seed dealers grow their businesses,” adds Konrad Martin, sales manager for the new venture.”

What’s in the bags
Future Generation Ag will offer their Bullseye radish Buckshot annual ryegrass, crimson clover, winter pea, winter forage triticale and cereal rye. They’ll also have six premixed blends available through the CoverMax brand.

Ebersole says they’re pleased to have access to a number of seasoned cover crop experts with decades of experience and expertise in soil health. “We’ll rely on their assistance and our own experience at Cover Crop Solutions to help answer questions and make sure producers have the right products and production information.

Editor’s note: Cover Crop Solutions, according to West Coast news sources, had contracted cover crop radish seed production with Oregon seed producers. Then the company was hit with a massive seed oversupply when a wet spring in 2014 swamped Midwest farmers’ plans to plant fall cover crops.
