Cover Cropping
Cover cropping is an amazing way to build soil health while keeping weeds at a minimum. Crimson clover is a fast-growing nitrogen fixing crop that also adds a good source of nectar for local pollinators.
President Hannah Traggis discusses the benefits of crimson clover in the fallow parts of our field, where it will add nitrogen, biomass, reduce weed pressure, and contribute to pollinators in the early spring.
