So. Let’s talk about crop rotation. This photo depicts a typical fall day at our farm where RJ is working cover crop seed into the soil. This job is an important part of our crop rotation plan, which is the act of switching the crops we plant in our fields every year.
And why do we do this you may ask? In formal terms, crop rotation is a vital part of our integrated pest management program and soil replenishment planning. In simpler terms, this means crop rotation helps us manage plant disease, weed invasions, insect infestations while at the same time boosting our soil nutrients.
And how does this happen you may ask? Different diseases and insects attack different crops. They are discouraged from forming enormous colonies when we switch up the crops annually. Soil nutrients are boosted when we plant cover crops that are worked into the land. You can visit “The Scoop On Poop” to see a video of Curtis spreading manure, which is another typical fall chore here at the farm.
