Host
Wayne Braun, 3 B Ag Solutions
Wayne Braun farms near Durant, Iowa, raising corn, soybeans, sudangrass and a cow-calf herd. Amidst farming, he also owns and operates 3 B Ag Solutions, a biosecurity solutions provider for livestock and crop producers. Wayne introduced cover crops into his operation in the early 2000s and continues to learn and try new things, like his plan to take triticale to seed if the stand looks good this spring. Most of the cover crops on his farm are used for grazing, silage or hay. The remaining acres are terminated and followed by soybeans planted with his no-till drill.
Come join Wayne for a look into how he’s incorporating cover crops throughout his farm, and how his management practices have evolved over 20 years of cover cropping.
