National Cover Crop Summit 2020

Preserving Water & Soil Quality Using Cover Crops

Robb Ewoldt

Grower

Davenport, Iowa

Rob Ewoldt discusses how cover crops reduce his use of crop protection products and to improve water quality on his 1,100 acre farm, which is located near Davenport, Iowa, including the installation of the first bioreactor (underground water infiltration system) in eastern Iowa.

Ewoldt combines no-till, strip-till and cover crops to control erosion on their operation, which includes beef cattle, horses and a 2,400-head wean-finish barn where they feed pigs for Eichelberger Farms.

Ewoldt also shares tips on maximizing planter technology when planting cover crops into cash crops from his 10-plus years of cover crop use.
