Let's all hope that "the force" prevails.

Good article but I tend to notice that these guys that are building soil always have old equipment and have animals running loose around the farmstead. In other words how to we turn the heads of the high end run & gun producers to do nothing other than build soil?
You'll never sell this guy to Big Ag. He can't use any of their products.
We planted 90 acres of cover crop this fall in silage ground. Next year we signed up with the NCRS to aerial seed cover crop into standing corn in August. I am surprised Chris is not doing this.
Mike, how exactly does this work out as far as the time line goes? You aerial seed in august, then things begin to fill in at what point? Then what's the next step as far as planting your next crop within such a field?
