Rolling and Crimping
Rolling and crimping is a method of no-till production by which cash crops are planted into a flattened and killed cover crop. The flattened cover crop protects the soil, suppresses weeds, and eliminates the need for tillage in a cropping cycle. Over time, soil structure is improved, biology is stimulated, and the land is able to shield itself from extreme weather events such as floods or droughts.
Spring wheat is planted in the early spring and it is harvested in July.
