| Need a green cover to capture and store nutrients, as well as help wind erosion. I farm the exact same kind of ground and we do not have much CEC or OM to hold nutrients. Any nutrients in the profile will move multiple feet during the winter with the rain through the thin sand, if I can capture those nutrients with a green cover, I can use them again when I kill the cover crop and it decomposes, and also add a little more tilth and residue to the sand. Just how it works here, not sure if that is his reasoning or not.
