“My grandfather would always say, ‘you could wrap a chain around a ryegrass plant and you could pull the whole earth up by it.’ And that was true because the amount of roots that were there and to see that stuff interact in the soil is pretty substantial. It's pretty neat.”
— Jay Baxter, Grower, Georgetown, Del.
For this episode of the Cover Crop Strategies podcast, brought to you by GS3 Quality Seed, I had the opportunity to travel to Jay Baxter’s farm in Georgetown, Del., and talk to him about cover crop seeding and termination methods, his opinion on multi-species cover crop mixes, the rich history of his family farm and much more.
