Lower feed and fertilizer costs

We continue our conversation with Jerry Doan who runs a large cow-calf, grazing and cash-crop operation in North Dakota. Several years ago he took steps to improve the health of his soil including planting a cover crop of a dozen different plants which he then grazes in the winter. He says last year he saved $150 per cow on winter feed cost plus he saves on fertilizer when planting the corn or sunflower cash crop.
