In Crop Rotation and Cover Cropping, you can learn some of the thinking behind--and the actual nuts and bolts of--laying out a rotation for your farm.

This volume, part of the NOFA guides, covers:

  • Historical roots of cover-crop techniques
  • Thinking beyond this season's cash crop (disease and pest reduction, weed suppression, cash vs. cover crops)
  • What is a good rotation? (mapping the farm, grouping crops, sample groupings)
  • The economics of rotations and cover cropping (organizing your work, reducing labor inputs, land and cover-crop seed costs)

Including on-farm examples and detailed appendices.
