Mixed Cover Crop
Cover crops are planted for the purpose of suppressing weeds, improving soil health, reducing the need for fertilizer inputs, and breaking up compaction. They also protect the soil from wind and water erosion. Red clover, buckwheat, timothy, alfalfa, rye, oats, and many others are all part of the farm’s carefully planned rotation.
Spring wheat is planted in the early spring and it is harvested in July.
