Grazing Cover Crops for Healthy Soil and Profits

Cover crops are important on Jimmy and Ginger Emmons’ farm not just for soil health but for grazing, as they manage a 250-cow/calf herd and take in yearling cattle for custom grazing on 6,000 acres of native range in Leedey, Okla. Emmons will talk about the why, how and outcomes of grazing cover crops with their adaptive multi-paddock grazing system — moving on from “the way we’ve always done it” to a more sustainable operation. Instructional videos of fencing made easy and portable water systems will be shown as well. “If we can do it,” Jimmy says, “why can’t you?”
