LUMBER BRIDGE, N.C. (RFD News) —Cover crops have been part of Sam Walton’s family farm for decades, and he continues refining that approach with each growing season.
Walton said his father introduced cover crops after seeing their benefits firsthand, and the family has gradually expanded their use over the years despite challenges with timing and crop management.
Today, Walton grows a mix of row crops while continuing to fine-tune how cover crops fit into his operation.
He said every season brings new lessons, and neighboring farmers have been one of his best resources for improving his approach.
