Hello Amir,

If you’ve spent any time at all researching cover crops online, you’ve
probably come across the famous picture of Dave Brandt holding a gigantic
tillage radish.

Brandt laughs about the photo, but for this meme-worthy no-tiller from
Carroll, Ohio, that massive taproot only hints at the amazing benefits he’s
seen from the cover crops he’s been growing since 1976.

For this week’s podcast episode, sponsored by La Crosse Seed
<https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-dm%5EDbaQfFcr4wqcn9y7qb>,
contributing editor Martha Mintz chats  with Dave about some of those
benefits as well as the lessons he’s learned in his 45 years of using cover
crops.

Dave talks about how and why he went from using a single species cover crop
to a multi-species mix, some of the unusual methods he’s used for measuring
nutrient payback from covers, how they’ve helped him reduce fertilizer
inputs by 80%, herbicides by 45-50% and fuel by 10-15%, the equipment he
uses to plant green into 36,000 pounds of cover crop biomass, and much more.
