Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Today we celebrate the land that feeds us, supports us, and connects us all. At Nature Intended, we believe healthy soil creates a healthier future. That’s why we’re passionate about cover crops that work hard year-round, building organic matter, reducing erosion, feeding pollinators, improving water infiltration, and helping farmers and landowners regenerate the ground beneath their feet.

Every seed planted with purpose is an investment in cleaner water, stronger soil, healthier wildlife habitat, and the next generation.

This Earth Day, remember: we don’t inherit the land, we borrow it.

Plant something that gives back. Plant cover crops and natives. Plant a better future. 💚

Regenerative Ag is the way!

We’ve been in a drought… finally we are starting to get some much needed rain! Every bit helps.

Do you know what else helps? Cover Crops

Cover crops can be one of the best tools for drought resilience because they improve the soil’s ability to capture, store, and release water. In cracked, hard soil like the image, rainfall often runs off instead of soaking in. Cover crops help reverse that.

How Cover Crops Help in Drought

1. Increase Water Infiltration
Roots from cover crops create channels in the soil. Those channels allow rain to move deeper into the ground instead of ponding or running off the surface.

2. Build Organic Matter
When cover crop roots and residue break down, they add organic matter. Organic matter acts like a sponge, helping soil hold more moisture for future dry periods.

3. Reduce Soil Crusting and Cracking
Bare soil bakes in the sun, forms crusts, and cracks. Cover crops shade the surface and protect it from extreme temperature swings, reducing moisture loss.

4. Lower Evaporation
Living plants and leftover residue form a layer. That keeps the soil cooler and slows evaporation, preserving water for cash crops or pasture.

5. Improve Root Depth of Future Crops
Healthier soil structure lets corn, soybeans, grasses, or vegetables root deeper, helping them access water during drought stress.

6. Feed Soil Biology
Earthworms and microbes thrive under cover crops. Their activity improves aggregation (crumb structure), which boosts both drainage and water-holding capacity.

Best Cover Crops for Drought Improvement

Depending on your system:

Cereal rye – deep roots, biomass, erosion control

Annual ryegrass – aggressive rooting, compaction relief

Radish/turnip – breaks tight layers, opens soil

Crimson clover / Balansa clover – nitrogen + soil cover

Sorghum-sudangrass – strong summer biomass, drought tolerant

Cowpeas – warm-season drought-friendly legume

What Happens Over Time

Year 1: Better cover, less runoff
Year 2: More earthworms, improved infiltration
Year 3+: Noticeably softer soil, fewer cracks, stronger crops in dry spells

If your soil is compacted, low in residue, and moisture-starved, a strategic cover crop program could help rebuild aggregation and reduce that hardpan significantly. In drought years, that can be the difference between stressed crops and surviving crops.

One plus of planting clover blends as a cover crop, your daughter has the sweetest honey!

Some good news…

Cover crops, no-till, and rotational grazing do more than improve your soil. They lower your input costs, stabilize your cash flow, and protect the value of your land. That’s the kind of financial story your lender wants to hear.

Farmers report that using soil health practices have cut costs by $21/acre on corn and $13/acre on soybeans. Some have added $14/acre in revenue just by incorporating grazing into their operation.

Your lender may not know what your soil health practices are worth. Our new Farmers for Soil Health fact sheet can start that conversation. See more at the link in the comments!

Teach them young to steward the land, the importance of soil health, about habitat restoration and the power of cover crops and regenerative practices! It’s always a proud moment when you see that knowledge carry over and they’re sharing what they know with others!

Grade level and overall school winner in the soil conservation essay contest!

Thank you to the soil conservation districts for continuing to sponsor this and teaching children about conservation.

🌻 Sunflowers are more than a pretty plant. They are a working piece of ground improvement that pays you back.

They send a deep taproot into the soil, breaking compaction and pulling nutrients from below the surface. That nutrient cycling improves soil structure, water infiltration, and overall productivity for the crops that follow. They do not fix nitrogen, but they help make what is already there more available.

They also create a living system above ground. Sunflowers bring in pollinators and beneficial insects that support the entire ecosystem. As they mature, they provide both structure and feed. The seed heads become a high-energy food source that wildlife will return to again and again.

One of their biggest advantages is flexibility. Sunflowers can be left standing for habitat and natural feeding, or they can be harvested. Seed can be collected for feed, oil, or replanting. In small plots or large acreage, they give you an option to take something off the field while still improving what is underneath.

They handle heat, tolerate tougher soils, and will winter kill with a hard frost, making them easy to manage without extra passes.

Sunflowers are not just something you plant. They are something you build with and pretty to look at!

We were super excited to host local students this morning for a drone demonstration and greenhouse talk. We were able to share about cover crops, soil health and the native plants we are growing, along with several other topics. They had great questions and were an amazing group of students!

Do you need to spray your pasture or over-seed it for spring and summer forage? Our drone services can help with that. Not only do we offer the best seed for pasture and hay production, but we can also help you seed it.

If you’re looking for ways to save on feeding cattle or need to get things done quickly, let us help! We offer spraying and seeding services. We service Kentucky, Tennessee and some surrounding states. We would be glad to help!

Yesterday we had a great visit with Roundstone Native Seed!

Fire Brings Life Back to the Land

What you’re seeing here may look like destruction… but in reality, it’s renewal.

This field was intentionally burned to help restore the land and encourage native plant regrowth. Fire has always been a natural part of our ecosystems. For thousands of years, lightning strikes and Indigenous land stewardship used fire to keep landscapes healthy and thriving.

When a field is burned responsibly, several important things happen:

1. Native plants are released. Fire removes thick layers of thatch and invasive plants, allowing native grasses and wildflowers to germinate and grow.

2. Seeds wake up. Many native species actually need fire or heat exposure to break dormancy and sprout.

3. Pollinators benefit. Burning encourages diverse flowering plants that provide food for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.

4. Wildlife habitat improves. Fresh new growth provides nutrient-rich forage for deer, turkey, and other wildlife.

5. Soil health improves. Fire recycles nutrients back into the soil and resets the system so healthy plant communities can return.

Within just a few weeks, this black field will begin turning green again, often with stronger native growth than before.

Sometimes the most powerful step in restoration is simply returning nature’s natural processes back to the land.
