SUMMARY:Practical and Productive Vegetable Crop Rotations (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Practical and Productive Vegetable Crop Rotations\n\n \n\n\nTuesday April 14 @ 1:00 pm – 2:15 pm  Online via Zoom – link will be sent to registrants\n\n\n\n\nDesigning an effective crop rotation is one of the most important – and challenging – parts of managing a diversified vegetable farm. Join us for an informal\, practical meet-up and discussion focused on how three ecological vegetable farms approach crop rotation planning and how they include and highlight cover crops to benefit their farms. \nThis session will feature short presentations from three experienced vegetable farmers – Jeff Boesch\, Stephanie Laing and Reid Allaway – who will each share how they design and manage rotations on their farms. They’ll discuss the goals that guide their planning (such as soil health\, pest and disease management\, labor efficiency\, and crop productivity)\, processes they use to build and adapt their rotations over time\, and share about some of the challenges in their current processes. \nFarmers will share how they integrate cover crops into their rotations\, including where and when they fit them into tight production schedules\, what species they rely on\, and how cover crops support soil fertility and long-term resilience on their farms. \nAfter the presentations\, we’ll open the conversation for a casual discussion among participants. This will be a chance to ask questions\, compare approaches\, and learn from each other. \nWhether you’re refining an existing rotation or building one from scratch\, this interactive session will offer practical ideas\, examples from working farms\, and space for meaningful knowledge sharing and exchange. \nThis event is offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM). \n\nJoin to learn more about creative ways to bring cover crops into your operation.
