A farmer in south-central Minnesota is trying cover crops for the first time.
Sam Ziegler of Good Thunder says he’s looking to improve water permeation and reduce soil erosion.
“We saw it pretty clear here just the other day of how much wind blew dirt and corn stalks and stuff around, and if there’s a way to put a cover out in those fields you could stand right by them and there’s not a single corn stalk flying through the air right there.
