 I am Andrew Snyder. I am the fourth generation to be here at the Snyder Ranch at our current location. We are nestled against the Black Hills in between Sturgis and Rapid City, South Dakota. We have a ranching operation with myself, my middle brother Daniel, and my dad. We predominantly are a cow-calf operation. We run mother cows on native range. We also develop bread heifers. Along with that we run some stocker cattle. On the cropping side we grow alfalfa and grass hay. And then also on annual crops we'll grow barley, oats, sorghums, millet, and everything is for forage for the cattle. We've started to get into the cover cropping side of things. Putting a cover crop in following harvesting barley or taking off winter wheat. And we've also done a little experimenting with grazing standing corn for the first time this year. We do have a rotational grazing system in our forest unit. We will do a rotational grazing on our native pastures too. If you turn out in this pasture early, you don't turn out early in that pasture next year. Try to vary up your season of use and give those plants an opportunity to recover. So when you think about the whole no-till scenario, you first start with no-till and eliminating disturbance, stopping your disking and your primary tillage. The next thing that people always think about in a no-till situation is cover crops. That's where we are working on right now is the cover crop side of it. When we'll grow barley or wheat for hay, we can come in behind that with a cover crop. And those cover crops in our environment will give us the opportunity to grow forage out of season. Grow something that we normally wouldn't have. Here in western South Dakota, we have a drastically different moisture situation than east river South Dakota. Anything you can run through the cow, graze it and leave nutrients where they're at. Create residue and you're not transporting those bales that hay from the field back to your home place. All the different bugs of the soil that are taking that apart, they're disassembling a complex item that the cow put on the ground. And they're taking that back into the soil for the benefit of everything else that's growing to make the whole cycle start again. In the multi-species cover crop that we have growing on one particular field, the idea with that is you cover your bases from your warm season grasses, your cool season grasses, your warm season broadleaves, brassicas. One thing that grows good one year may not grow so good another year. Instead of rolling out a bale and feeding the cattle with stored forage, make them graze it. This whole thing started when I was in college in brickings at SDSU. I was invited to go to Dakota Lakes Research Farm and Dr. Duane Beck would talk about the different things he was doing in the soil health and he kept relating to you got to feed the livestock in the soil. That's something as a rancher I can relate to that. This makes sense. You feed the cows above the ground, you got to feed the cows in the soil.
