Identify and Explain Cover Crop Benefits

so lame tell me what we got going on here what I normally do is I are old farms that people conventional - we will go in and try to keep something on the land all the time okay that kind of keeps everything from the road and going back into the ponds back into the creeks we try to have something going all the time as far as the land because you got you got bees all kind of beneficial insects that come from all different kind of cover crops yeah and also you know just cash crops that we plant each and every year right now I see out here we're looking at a field that you're taking back right now that you planted this fall and you planted what soybeans winter peas crimson clover and right okay winter peas crimson clover and ride you planted that what last land in October yep okay now right after now tobacco was actually two years ago on this farm okay but we just we just got this year so this is what we're starting off this is how we start off on everything gotcha so this is his first step in repairing the land and we're gonna take a quick look or a detailed look at the soil and how he's bringing the land back here in just a minute we're gonna take a look at the plants that he's using and we're here basically to gather information for our farm because we've got some new open land and we want to do the right thing to build biomass in the soil to get the worms to get the nitrogen to do what's right instead of throwing and dumping that fake fertilizer that's right you know it's petroleum-based fertilizers and we don't want to do that we want to do it right we want to provide nitrogen we want to provide substance for the soil and lane here I was introduced to him probably two and a half three years ago and he was growing son help now son help isn't a hemp like you know smoke you know you smoke it you don't get hemp oil or anything like that but it provides a huge amount of biomass per acres right how much biomass is that it's like five or six tones per acre well what we're looking at here how much is the tonnage per acre probably oh this ray is probably at least three to four tons per acre gotcha gotcha but will this fix nitrogen just just as much as the Sun hemp to Sun him actually fix nitrogen it does okay some hemp does pretty good any leg Hume does really good got you the winter peas and the clover hairy vetch is another really good one that its way up there as far as nitrogen fixation on all the land and stuff gotcha now did you fertilize this before you…
