Dan Forgey_Adding Cover Crops to a No Till System

Dan Forgey, farm manager at Cronin Farms in South Dakota, has been using no-till management for more than 17 years. Over that time, Forgey has developed a keen understanding of how his farming system works and where new challenges and opportunities exist. Several years ago, Forgey began thinking about how he might include cover crops on the 8500-acre farm to improve soil and the bottom line. But how best to do this in a no-till system?

Excellent! This is what every producer needs to take seriously. Crop diversity, good soil stewardship, and regenerative farming! Well done!

This was an excellent video! I didn't hear you mention anything about lime. Do you apply it on top of the ground or is it not needed when utilizing this system? Any information you could pass along would be greatly appreciated.
