Can you do a show on cover crops and soil health? You’ve dabbled with using covers in the eagle seed beans. But for areas outside of the ozarks with more soil depth the benefits of cover crops and no-till can allow for more food on the fields to help support herds. And this is especially important for absentee landowners who have no idea their operators practice fall tillage that lose food and tons of soil/acre a year. Without soil, no habitat and food and without those, no wildlife.

Cody,

I’m a huge proponent of using cover crops no matter where/what type of soil. Cover crops paired with other good soil conservation practices are a key to sustainable agricultural and increased profits!  

If I have an opportunity I’ll certainly share more information about the benefits of cover crops!

Enjoy creation,
