In an effort to increase soil diversity, improve nutrient cycling, and provide my cows with more quality forage to graze throughout the winter, we seeded cover crops yesterday.
To get a jump on the growing season, I decided to try drone seeding on a larger scale. I did a small test last year and was really pleased with the results, so this year we’re putting it to the test across 240 acres.
I’ll still be utilizing my drill in seeding some cover crops, but drone seeding gives us another tool and serves as a hedge against an early frost. Something that has bitten me a few times in years past.
Really excited to see how this mix performs and, more importantly, what it can do for the soil and the cows. Always looking for ways to improve the ground while putting more grazing days in front of the herd.
