It may have taken a “double-dog dare” for Oklahoma no-tiller Jimmy Emmons to try different crops and different cover crops in his rotation, but many of those experiments have paid big dividends in what Emmons calls “wow” moments.
The positives of planting cover crops include supporting the local environment and making crops more productive and climate-resilient. Thanks to cover crops, no-till and crop rotation, Willott says his farm still had a fairly good harvest despite this year’s drought, extreme heat and flooding.

Research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison finds using a cereal rye cover crop in addition to herbicides can keep fields clean without an impact on yield — as long as a good soybean stand is established.

The topography of the Champaign County, Ohio area makes much of Jack Sommers' farmland a candidate for no-till and cover cropping practices. Sommers feels that cover crops help protect the soils and build up organic matter among other advantages.
As we have said so often—production agriculture and environmental protection really can go hand in hand. If we take care of the worms, (and with them the rest of the microbial community) they really can help save the day.
