Rotational Grazing with Organic Cattle in Cover Crops in NW Minnesota
Ғылым және технология
Curtis Ballard and his son-in-law Tim Lehrke show how they use rotational cattle grazing and mob grazing with organic cover crops and no-till farming practices on their cow/cafe operation in NW Minnesota. They have worked extensively with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) on their EQIP projects for many years. Videography by Dan Balluff.

Wabasha here. We are super proud of our smart farmers farming regeneratively.
Super video, love them red angus.
Sweet story. Thanks for helping to heal the land and create a win/win for you too!
Improving the soil allows it to soak up amazing amounts of rain. Gabe Brown has a great story about it.
awesome to see it working up there! its nice to see farmers working on money per acre and not bushels per acre.

Correct if you can increase bushels per acre without increasing the input dollars per acre then you make more money. But in mainstream agriculture how many more inputs are people buying hoping that they get a few more bushel to the acre without really testing to see if they're actually increasing dollars per acre in cash flow. When we are rotating commodity crops like corn and beans in with our cattle we sure can use bushels per acre because of my cattle allow me to grow a decent corn crop with very little inputs then that is a very highly profitable cash crop
