 We're J.P. and Holly Haber and we live in South Dakota and we started with J.P.'s family operation so I'll let you start the story. In 2009 Holly and I got married and started M&H land and cattle and we've been on this place since then I guess and when we got married a little bit before that J.P. and his brother had operated together and J.P. and I took over the operation. Our main parts of the operation are cow-calf pair, we background cattle and we're working getting ready to feed cattle, bats and we also do row crops that's kind of J.P.'s area. We raise corn, soybeans, winter wheat, spring wheat. This year we grew food grade oats for Gerber baby food. We do hay production, we have alfalfa, cover crops. So this year, well the previous year J.P. had had this idea to bio strip till because in our area a lot of agronomists push strip till and so we and for the kind of ground that we run it just doesn't really work that well because we have what J.P. calls prairie potholes and it truly is prairie potholes and so we didn't feel comfortable putting that dollars and that fertilizer out there not knowing that we would or wouldn't be able to use it. So a few years ago J.P. said, hey what do you think about using cover crops to try to do what strip till does and I said hey I think it sounds good but it was really dry for a couple years when it came time to plant them so we waited it out and this year it worked out perfect and so that's what we did and so hopefully that'll prove out for us in our rotation. Alright what we have here is some no till soil clod here and we have some conventional soil clod here and we're going to run a demonstration on soil aggregate stability as we drop these in we're going to notice some bubbling out of the no till but not near as rapidly as the conventional till is starting to fall apart rapidly and so what this is stimulating is a heavy rain scenario that this soil here will erode and kind of run down the furrow. Along with your high dollar seed and fertilizer. Where this is holding together and actually absorbing taking in that that moisture. Oh wow now look at it go. I'm surprised that that I thought I'd be able to pull a chunk out of there in two minutes and break it in half and it would still it would be dry in the middle. Oh wow it's pretty much it's wet all the way through I mean there's definitely moisture pretty well all the way through and this one's completely gone. This soil can hold this soil can hold moisture and this soil that's what we need is we have to we have to have the ability to just conserve moisture and that's a integral part of that. We say especially in our area which it's true especially in our area but I mean you think about across the nation California they're putting water restrictions on I mean it's just a matter of time as it was across the country so it really is important no matter where you live. Thanks a lot for joining us with that a little experiment like we said we're located in east central South Dakota and South of Zell, South Dakota and and keep looking for these little guys and these little guys. I'm Holly Haver this is Haven and I'm JP and Harley's taking a nap. Stop in if you're near Zell. Thanks.
