Manage episode 506750385 series 2974632
A years-long drought, followed by an entire year's rainfall in a week.
With these conditions, succeeding as a farmer in North Texas takes more than just luck.
It takes a solid plan, an openness to new ideas, a reliable pool of data and an expert team.
John and Amilia Cato have all these and more. Managing more than 10,000 acres just south of the Red River, they have had to adapt to get ahead.
And by introducing no-till, soil testing and data analytics, they've transformed a generations-old operation into a modern example of using conservation practices to thrive in an uncertain climate.
That's why Nutrien Ag Solutions named them as part of its class of Sustainable Success Champions.
So in this episode, we join John and Amilia Cato in the field during their harvest to hear about how they're overcoming challenges, what's working, and how conservation practices are helping them improve their margins.
