Under The Covers

From the Seed Shed: Is grazing back?


Listen Later

In this episode of Under the Covers, Bill and James sit down at the cribbage board to discuss what happened in the warehouse this spring and what we think it means for agriculture overall.

From launching a new alfalfa line (yes, named after legendary tractor models) to expanding our turf and forage lines the guys break down what’s been happening at Iowa Cover Crop.

But this episode goes beyond seed sales. The conversation turns toward the bigger shift they’re seeing in agriculture right now: more farmers looking beyond the standard corn-and-bean rotation, growing interest in grazing and annual pastures, and a stronger focus on cutting input costs while building resilient systems.

The guys also dig into:

  • Why cattle markets are pushing more acres toward grazing
  • How small grains can improve the bigger farm picture
  • Reducing nitrogen and herbicide needs through cover crop systems

As always, it’s practical, unfiltered, and occasionally derailed by a good hand.
