Frost-Tolerant Cover Crops for Year-Round Protection
Provides Year-Round Soil Protection and Improved Groundcover
When fall jobs run late and winter is closing in, 21-112 Winter Wheat Cover keeps sites protected instead of exposed. Used statewide as a trusted replacement for DOT 100, this premium Triticum aestivum seed establishes fast, holds soil through harsh weather, and leaves behind cleaner conditions for spring work. Applied at 112.09 kg per hectare or 100 pounds per acre, it delivers thick, reliable coverage that does not quit when temperatures drop.

Built to Take Winter Head-On
Cool weather does not slow winter wheat down. Growth comes on strong in the fall, laying a protective blanket across disturbed soil while weeds struggle to break through. Below ground, a dense root system locks soil in place, absorbs excess nitrogen, and limits runoff during heavy rain, freeze thaw cycles, and snowmelt. By spring, stands typically generate 2,000 to 5,000 pounds of dry biomass per acre, creating a soft mulch layer that improves infiltration, protects structure, and makes early season access far easier.
The payoff shows up in fewer repairs, cleaner sites, and smoother transitions when crews return after winter.
Simple to Install, Easy to Trust
Drilling 25.7 seeds per square foot into firm, moist soil at three-quarters to one and a half inches delivers strong, even stands on both flat ground and slopes. Broadcasting works just as well where speed matters, with light rolling or harrowing providing fast soil contact. From small stabilization areas to long highway stretches, 21-112 handles uneven conditions without added complexity or guesswork.
As residue breaks down, organic matter builds naturally, improving soil health and reducing erosion risk on future phases. This mulch-like layer enhances seed-to-soil contact for follow-up plantings and creates a forgiving surface that crews can work without worry or delay.
Flexible Enough to Fit the Job
Some projects need winter protection only. Others demand forage, compost inputs, or spring transitions that stay on schedule. 21-112 covers all of it. Use it alone, pair it with clovers or ryegrass as a nurse crop, terminate early for clean spring planting, or manage growth to meet NRCS 340 and stormwater requirements without fighting the calendar.
This is winter wheat that shows up, holds ground, and leaves sites better than it found them. Get your 21-112 Winter Wheat Cover today and secure soil protection, faster spring transitions, and reliable results on every project.
