These videos showcase conservation success stories and tips from across Minnesota and the Nation. USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service helps America's farmers and ranchers conserve the nation's soil, water, air and other natural resources. All programs are voluntary and offer science-based solutions that benefit both the landowner and the environment.

Steele county is my home county. Driven by this project a few times. Such a great project with several agencies involved. Must see if you are interested in WRP/RIM project. Grasslands, wetlands, waterfowl, wildlife. This project has it all. What a marvel of engineering!
He builds them now. You can order them as a prefab I think. But this is how I want to grow flowers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IZghkt5m1uY.htmlsi=VmRQ_bq5BfbRd0Jq
If your BS glass was half full, it’s all the way full after watching this video. NRCS is full of crap. If you do a ground lease you will have no say in your land management and they will do a piss poor job managing your land. Their goal is to bankrupt you so they can take your land. Me and my brothers are thinking about making our own video of how awesome NRCS is
Why not cover the lagoon, capture the methane to run the grain dryer, gas appiances, even a electricity generator to sell peak power back to the grid as another crop. You can make bio diesel also.
That corn looks like absolute s#!t.. you would be better off raising a better corn crop and feeding your cattle corn than messing with some stupid cover crop....
❤ luv this! I just turned 42 and never knew there was such a thing as sugar, beets, or beet sugar. I should say I have a newfound appreciation for them and can’t wait to grow them in my own garden.
Glyphosat is not harming Earthworms. Tillage harms them a lot! Take a spade and start digging in a No-till crop where weeds are sprayed off before seeding and also dig in a soil that was tilled before seeding! You will see the no-till soil has much more active soil life 🪱
Nice job, if you're not doing yet another enhancement to incorporate add to your cover crop at seeding fungi that helps with nutrient transport and nitrogen fixing bacteria specific to grasses not just legume strains.
Bravo! I like the stripper head, the higher stubble catches more snow, and taller stubble might help ground nesting wildlife. Pollinator strips-I hope this becomes a normal site on working farms!
I’m curious why you decided to burn rather than other methods? I’m not sure if the other methods are scalable or can be accomplished in your timeframe, but it would be good to explore for future projects. Great project, congrats.
Nothing wrong with relinquishing a little yield in exchange for less tillage, less herbicides, chemicals, building biology in the soil, and so on. It’s about our future, and your children’s future.
