 Hello, I am Jared Nampkin and with my wife Lacey, son Cooper and daughter Paisley. We're in Northeastern South Dakota by Lake Norton here at Nampkin Red Angus Ranch. We have a farming and cattle operation. We are a purebred business along with commercial cows. Finish our cattle through the feedlot from pasture to plate I guess if you say. We've started trying to better our soil and our ecosystems by adding cover crops. We have seen an increase in production with the rotational system and we will rotate anywhere from once a day to every two weeks depending on where we're at, pasture size, herd size. We've started using cover crops specifically in the mixture to help be more sustainable and a broader array of what we can do and have for options in our, basically our toolbox to allow us to be more diversified. We've put perimeter fence around our crop fields, mostly high tensile sump barbed wire depending on where it is. That's allowed us to gain access to these crop fields and graze them and help give our pastures a rest earlier. Graze through the winter or parts of the winter as long as the snow is not too deep or too crusted. We have started into using some annual forages this year being dry in June. When we planned the annual forage, we planned on hanging it with not much rain in June. We are now grazing it and we will graze it lightly and then come back over the top again and graze it here later this fall. We have more water access to a lot of our crop fields now from above ground pipe. It's allowed us to go access these fields that we had limited water. We can now graze them without having cattle travel long distances. Predominantly, we'll come in after small grain harvest and no-till cover crop mixes. We started out simple when we first started this. We started out with mostly turnips. We've now went into concoctions, more grasses, more diverse mix. Diversity always improves the biological health and actually cattle prefer diversity rather than monocultures. We mostly will graze these cover crops if we don't get across them, if we have too much snow. The cattle will graze through the snow on them and actually we've been impressed of how much they will graze through the snow and graze these cover crops. We are doing going to do more things in the future with cover crops, interceding them into more corn and do possibly try windrow grazing sometime. Yeah, we have seen a greater economic value to the cover crops without feeding them. Obviously, that's less fuel being used. That's less time we have to feed cattle. Economic viability is, you know, is crucial with the declining prices. So the cover crops have given us another option for being more diverse, for working the cattle into the cropland, for grazing residue and it's greatly helped feed situation. We've come a long way in the last few years with cover crops, annual forages and stuff like that. We've still got a long ways to go. There are still many answers, you know, it's a trial by ear is what we've been mainly doing and trying to get our questions answered, you know, if not we'll try and solve the problem and go on from there and learn from our mistakes if they are.
