Grazing cover crops: How does it influence soils and crops?” with Drs. John Holman and Augustine Obour.

Cover crops have a lot of uses depending on where you live and what you grow, but in some regions like the Great Plains, it can take a little extra help to make sure they’re as helpful as they can be. In this episode, John and Augustine join me to discuss the advantages and challenges of grazing cover crops in the Great Plains.

Tune in to learn:

·        Which factors most impact strategy when incorporating cover crops

·        How to alter cover cropping strategy depending on the soil moisture

·        How incorporating cover crops and livestock can increase profitability

·        How cover crops can help with forage shortages
