If weed pressure is limiting your yield potential, it might be time to look below the surface.
At Farmers Coop Society, we’ve seen firsthand how cover crops, when used as part of a system-based approach, can play a critical role in suppressing weeds. By establishing early-season ground cover, reducing open canopy space, and improving soil health, cover crops help make your fields less hospitable to unwanted competition.
Less Pressure, More Potential
A well-chosen cover crop mix can help:
- Outcompete early-season weeds for sunlight and nutrients
- Reduce weed seed germination by shading the soil surface
- Break weed cycles with strategic rotation and planting windows
FCS offers a full line-up of high-quality, certified cover crop seed, tailored to the needs of our region. Whether you’re looking to improve weed control, enhance nutrient cycling, or unlock carbon program opportunities, our team is ready to help.

We also offer custom application options and access to market-based programs that reward regenerative practices.
