I am very blessed to know a number of producers that are passionate about cover crops and crop production profitability. One such producer is a fellow named Dave from NC Indiana. (Dave is very humble and does not want notoriety so I will not use his last name or exact town.) However, Dave has agreed to allow me to “follow his crops after cover crops”. This will be more of a photo diary. I think you will be excited to see how cover crops work for Dave and how awesome his crops are. He has been a ‘cover cropper” for six years now. This year Dave no-tilled approximately 50% of his acres. Dave is one of the most innovative guys I know…but he’s also “cautious”; he does not want to lose money! That’s why Dave loves cover crops! By using cover crops he has improved his profitability.
