Jimmy Emmons
Leedey, Okla.
Keeping Rain Where It Falls with No-Till
No-tiller Jimmy Emmons’ family farm in Leedey, Okla., 40 miles below the panhandle of Oklahoma and 35 miles from Texas, receives an average of just 20 inches of rainfall per year. Every decision on the 2,000 acres of farmland and 6,000 acres of native rangeland is made with capturing moisture in mind. Emmons talks through how he uses no-till, cover crops and relay cropping to keep every drop of moisture where it falls — all while building soil health.
