HOW I GOT PAID $30,000 TO GROW COVER CROPS (ON MY BACKYARD FARM)

Did you know that healthy soil is the foundation of all life on Earth? Without it, there’s no food, no communities, no ecosystems. But modern farming practices like heavy tillage and chemical inputs have degraded our soils to dangerous levels. That’s why programs like the USDA’s Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) are so important—they pay farmers to adopt sustainable practices that protect and restore soil health, reduce erosion, and sequester carbon.

In this video, I’ll show you how I’ve used cover crops, mulches, and no-till farming methods to build fertile, living soil while reducing weeds, pests, and my carbon footprint. And the best part? I’ve been able to add $30,000 to my farm’s bottom line over the past five years—making $6,000 a year—thanks to the CSP program. Whether you’re a backyard gardener or a farmer looking to scale sustainably, I’ll share actionable tips and insights that you can use to start building healthier soil and a more profitable operation.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

How cover crops like winter rye, peas, and oats improve soil health and fertility.
The financial and environmental benefits of the Conservation Stewardship Program.
How to reduce input costs by building soil health naturally.
Tips for getting started with sustainable farming and qualifying for CSP funding.
