Dirt Rich: Designing Cover Crops for Late Season Grazing

It’s about that time to plant for late season grazing. Take a listen back to our episode on the topic from 2020–one of Dirt Rich’s earliest episodes!

Kent Solberg and Doug Voss discuss the biological benefits of grazing complex cover crops (nicknamed “biological primers”), and will walk you through the process of designing a seed mix that will fit the unique context of your farm.

As we know, things can change rather quickly, and remaining adaptable and having a “plan B” is always helpful. Sharing experiences with other producers in your area can help give you ideas and learn what might work best (or not at all!) on your farm. After all, the sixth principle of soil health is context.
