Episode 40: Emulating natural prairies to balance soil health
The cover crop and crop rotation options used by agriculturalists across the country don’t work among the dryland farming practices of the plains of Wyoming. Wheat farmers — many of whom operate without well rights — are lucky to get a profitable crop every 2-3 years as their fields lie fallow for the interim to allow the soil recover.
