I've also been looking at not till options. Grant Woods and Jeff Sturgis both have some good information on improving soil composition using no till methods. If you are looking for something that is no till but a little heaver than the SAYA 507, the LMC HDNT-65 or the Greenscape 750 food plotter might be good options. They are just a heavier version of the Saya 507. They weigh in at 1850 lbs. instead of 1400 lbs. and require a 50 HP tractor. Both Sturgis and Woods utilize Buckwheat. Does anyone have experience growing buckwheat this far south? My Property is in Claiborne, Co. MS.

The point is “why” are they using buckwheat. What does buckwheat do? Maybe you already know what it does for soil and other plants, but it can get out of hand rather quickly. It could be that you plant it 1-2 years then skip a year or 2, if it makes seeds.

It will be fine. It grows from zone 3 to zone 10. North Dakota is 2 and Miami, Florida is 10

We planted buckwheat for the first time this year. Planted primarily because of fast germination/growth potential relative to vetch. It is supposed to provide good organic matter in a no-till system.
