Anyone have experience and or success with this in Missouri? I've been told heat and humidity creates too much heat under the thatch.

I've been using covers for several years now and have seen lower soil temps where the covers are. I have placed a soil thermometer in both a cover crop field and a conventional field and seen temp differences of more than 10-15 degrees. Cover in corn is difficult to roll because the stage of maturity is not far enough along to get a good crimp. Beans are much easier to use crimping because of the state of maturity at planting. I am in southern missouri but i have seen similar results at field days in central missouri. Hope this helps.
