"The FARMSMART Podcast": Episode 65
When we talk about sustainability, very often we’re talking about how a grower’s actions or practices can help the environment.
But it works both ways!
Sustainable improvements to the environment can help the grower out in the field as well.
When we invest in promoting soil health through practices like cover crops, we're laying the groundwork for better yields, lower input costs and even potential new revenue streams.
So in this episode, we're looking back at two of the best conversations we've had about cover crops and soil health.
Dr. Chuck Rice, a distinguished professor of soil microbiology at Kansas State University, has a great framework for growers that he calls the “Holy Trinity of Soil Health.”
And for growers who don’t feel like they know enough about cover cropping to make an informed decision, we're also speaking with Patrick Reed, the Vice President of Sales at La Crosse Seed.
