Maximize Livestock Feed Resources with Cover Crops: Tips From a Cover Crop Addict
Bill Buessing
Grower
Axtell, Kan.
No-tiller and self-described “cover crop addict,” Bill Buessing, Axtell, Kan., details how he adds various cover crop species to crop rotations as forages for his cattle and sheep to graze while building soil health and fixing valuable nutrients in the soil, which has allowed him to cut back on fertilizer.
He maintains a cash crop or cover-crop mix on every acre of his farm year-round and will share results from his experimental plots, where he tests more than 40 different types of covers and blends.
Cover crops have allowed Buessing to reduce nutrient runoff, retain and utilize more water, slow down wind erosion, help with weed control, build organic matter in the soil, recycle nutrients and building nitrogen for present and future crops.
