National Cover Crop Summit 2020

The Economics of Utilizing Cover Crops in a Dryland Environment

Jimmy Emmons

Grower

Leedey, Okla.

Third-generation grower Jimmy Emmons discusses how cover crops are an integral part of his rotational grazing program for his cow/calf operation while leveraging covers to help retain moisture in the dry climate of Oklahoma.

Emmons shares how cover crops have paid off economically for his 2,000-acre operation, which includes a rotation of wheat, canola, rye, sunflowers, peas, soybeans, milo, sesame and alfalfa.

Emmons has built his operation into a soil health system, with many parts contributing to the rehabilitation of his land, including no-till, which he has utilized for more than 20 years.
