Resource Explained

This case study profiles two partners operating a 2,150-acre organic grain farm in Clarkfield, MN, who got their start with cover crops on prevent-plant acres and have since embraced them. Their goal is to cover crop 25-33% of all farm acres, with daikon radish and oats as their preferred species, while actively working to reduce reliance on deep tillage practices common in their region.
