Episode 40: Emulating natural prairies to balance soil health
Update: 2025-01-07
Description
The cover crop and crop rotation options used by agriculturalists across the country don’t work among the dryland farming practices of the plains of Wyoming. Wheat farmers — many of whom operate without well rights — are lucky to get a profitable crop every 2-3 years as their fields lie fallow for the interim to allow the soil recover. In this episode, we talk to G.A. Harris Fellowship recipient Alex Fox, who joined a study that took lessons from natural prairie systems and studied the impacts of planting Kernza®, the first ever domesticated perennial grain crop.
