Cultivos de cobertura
Cover crops are used to support market crops, as well as to benefit the surrounding ecosystem. We plant them on a rotation with market crops to prepare and replenish the soil. They provide natural fertilization, soil stabilization, water retention, weed suppression, pest control, tillage, and wind protection. The Farm Hub is experimenting with different blends of rotational cover crops as an ecological alternative to chemical inputs.
Maíz en grano
Our grain corn research project involves no-till and organic production methods with novel interseeding of cover crops into grains. The brilliant red “Bloody Butcher”, used in making specialty bourbon, was the first variety tested, planted on multiple fields during the 2014 season.
