Crop Rotation and Cover Cropping
Soil Resiliency and Health on the Organic Farm
In Crop Rotation and Cover Cropping, you can learn some of the thinking behind—and the actual nuts and bolts of—laying out a rotation for your farm.
This volume, part of the NOFA guides, covers:
- Historical roots of cover-crop techniques
- Thinking beyond this season’s cash crop (disease and pest reduction, weed suppression, cash vs. cover crops)
- What is a good rotation? (mapping the farm, grouping crops, sample groupings)
- The economics of rotations and cover cropping (organizing your work, reducing labor inputs, land and cover-crop seed costs)
Including on-farm examples and detailed appendices.
