Workshop: Cover Cropping on a Diversified Farm – Economics, Agronomy, and Results

August 22, 2016 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Most organic and ecological farmers already know the virtues of cover crops, like weed control, nutrient retention, and better soil tilth. But the utility of a cover crop ultimately comes down to the details: when and what to plant, how to incorporate the seed, how and when to terminate the crop, and where it fits best into your crop rotation. Noah Kellerman of Alprilla Farm will go over a number of strategies to use cover crops at various farm scales and also discuss options for innovative techniques such as intercropping cover crops with cash crops, undersowing, and cocktail cover cropping.
