Joe.... Here’s another good video that's only a couple minutes long. Notice the diverse cover crop that he’s growing in the background. This is the same thing that I’m replicating in my test field you see here in this thread.
Here’s something to think about too….We as food plotters have an advantage over the farmer in this type of system. The reason being is that the farmer actually has to grow a cash crop with one of his rotations. We as food plotters can simply grow one diverse cover crop after another…summer, winter….summer, winter…..So where as they may fuel a field of corn off their diverse winter cover crop to sell at market….we can simply fuel a diverse summer cover crop which will then fuels the winter cover crop and so on. First though you have to get things turned around and your soil up and running properly. This takes some time and patience. Its like taking a piece of property that’s had the hell shot out of it and implementing mature buck management goals. It takes time to change but with patience and proper management you’ll see things gradually get better and better.
