Standing Dead Litter Cover and blowing native Indiangrass hay!

A short on-site YouTube video (creator: Rhett Kerby) demonstrating a field technique at a wind farm: the speaker explains using ambient wind to blow native Indiangrass hay across bare ground as a form of dead litter (residue) cover, then returning to crimp or press the hay into the soil so it stands upright as "standing dead litter cover." The clip describes the sequence (spread by wind → allow to settle → crimp into soil) and shows already-treated areas as examples.
