Um, what, what have you been observing with soil cover being digested more rapidly, and, and how has that shifted?
28:13
Well, I used to grow CBD.
28:15
We started a company, Superior Cannabis Company, and I grew CBD hemp plants for our couple diff- we had three different stores, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
28:25
And my first year of that, I, I laid down about eight foot tall cover crop.
28:31
And when I laid it down, I thought, "Boy, I'm gonna have to deal with this next year, but we'll just, we'll lay it down and we'll, we'll fight that battle next year." The next year, it was all gone, that, uh, the microbes were there, consumed it, fed beautiful hemp crops for three years at least, and then we moved on to a different spot.

But I will say, having that ground covered, you know, like, and I'll re- come back to bale grazing, 'cause that is the best way to get your ground covered, 'cause you're putting a high carbon-nitrogen ratio out there, bale.
