Oakland, NE — Combating the effects of climate change, from severe floods to drought, a Nebraska farmer is combining new regenerative practices with lessons from the past to become more sustainable.
As Graham Christensen and his brother harvest their fields in Oakland, there is already another crop waiting to take its place.
"See this? This would be rye grass. So it's just starting to peak up," Christensen said.
About a month ago, Christensen used drones to drop seed in his corn and bean fields.
"As soon as they come out and that sun hits the ground, more and more you see that cover crop flourish," Christensen said.
It's all part of regenerative farming practices, including not tilling fields after harvest and using cover crops.
