Cover Crops for Soil Health and Low-Cost Grazing – Practical Cover Croppers

Landon Brown and Derek Brown, brothers both farming in New Providence, Iowa, talk about the benefits of cover crops as part of their field crop and grazing operations.

Derek discusses how he uses a variety of cover crops for grazing including winter rye, oats and sorghum sudangrass. He also introduces his experiment with swath grazing the sorghum sudan following corn stalks. Learn about how the covers reduce the time and labor required for winter feed, help keep livestock on the land and contribute to soil health practices.
