Diving Deep into Cover Crops
Episode 44
Friday, 2 January, 2026
In this episode of Tim’s Take, host William Lee sits down with longtime University of Missouri agronomist Tim Rienbott, Director of Communications, Assistant Director of Natural Resources, and Director of Sanborn Field. With over 40 years of experience in agronomy, cover crops, and soil management, Tim brings a lifetime of insight to this deep-dive conversation. Together, William and Tim explore the fundamentals of cover crops—what they are, why they work, and how farmers can successfully integrate them into real cropping systems. Tim shares stories from his earliest days researching legumes in the late 1980s, how drone and broadcasting technology has changed cover-crop seeding, and why soil protection remains the #1 reason to use cover crops.
