Making Cover Crops Work in a Dry Climate

 

Nick Vos

Grower, Hugoton, Kan.

"With the right species selection and proper management, cover crops can be a transformative tool for soil health and agricultural productivity in arid regions. In this presentation, hear from Nick Vos, originally from South Africa and now no-tilling sandy soils near Hugoton, Kan. He places a large emphasis on using cover crops to overcome moisture challenges and to recycle available nutrients while keeping his soil protected from erosion.

Vos is a farmer, sheep rancher and regenerative ag consultant who also owns Prairie Seeds, which offers soil health solutions and regenerative ag consulting to farmers in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

His unique perspective from having grown up on a vegetable farm north of Johannesburg in South Africa, where he and his family dealt with highly unpredictable weather patterns, has helped shape his outlook on no-till, cover crops and other regenerative ag practices."
