Evolve Crimper 4500 - Crimping Cover Crop (April 2021)

Evolve Crimper 4500 going through and flattening a cover crop. Demonstrating the crimping effect on sunflower and forage sorghum.
Why?
This field is about to be grazed off, before being planted again with a winter cover crop. Crimping will give the stock more access to the shorter underlying plants and will also help the trampling process to create a more beneficial "green compost" or biomass cover over the Paddock.

Would you do this again?

So how do we know what crimps "to death" and what does not?

[@4Seekuh]

First it depends on the time point when you are crimping. With grasses and cereals it's only crimping to death when the plants are flowering. If you crimp earlier the plants will regrow. The next point is that the crimper needs to be NOT sharp. You don't want to cut the plant. For the crimping effect you need just flat steel.

@@4Seekuh huh...who knew. Do all grasses crimp the death if you get them in flower stage? What about crops that are not all flowering at same time then? Multiple crimps?
