Matt has always enjoyed crops and cattle and sees farming as a great way to see what he has accomplished. While farming he has always liked to try new things in order to stay on the cutting edge of what is happening in agriculture. The Upper Fox-Wolf Demonstration Farm Network appealed to him as a way to provide opportunities to stay current with new technologies and techniques as well as gain access to new equipment and knowledge.
So far, Matt has trialed a cover crop plot, using 8 seed mixes. He’s also done some interseeding and he’s looking to expand this. With these practices Matt’s building soil structure, has seen an increase in earthworm activity, and had reduced his labor inputs.
