You could try your local co-op. Also, I believe that if you go back a page or two in this thread (at least, I "think" it's this thread), there is a website that someone posted that sells cover-crop seeds.

Oats, though, I'd think you cold find locally.

I like the fedco site. lots of info there, and I bought the NE Covercrop Handbook as recommended by someone (sorry about the lapse in memory :oops: )

Here's a REALLY good selection guide for Rye vs. Winter wheat vs. Triticale vs. Spelt: https://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/hort/faculty/bjorkman/covercrops/pdfs/wheat.pdf

Here's the rye file:

Both from this page: https://calshort-lamp.cit.cornell.edu/bjorkman/covercrops/index.php

My fall frost is probably about a week later.
