We return to Jim, Mark, and Matt Purfeerst’s farm to take a deeper dive into their farming practices. Learn more about Vertical and No-tillage, tile drains, and cover cropping. We also talk a little about different cover crops species, which includes the use of African cabbage, and how they utilize the different covers as alternative forages. We end with a rigorous discussion on the return on investment of soil health practices and a new take on the definition of soil health.
