Welcome
eXtension is an interactive learning environment delivering the best, most researched knowledge from the smartest land-grant university minds across America.
Description: Organic farmers in the mid-Atlantic region face many production constraints including farming on erodible soils in vulnerable watersheds. Most organic farmers pass over their fields 7 to 12 times during the first half of the growing season. Excessive tillage is costly in diesel fuel and labor and can decrease soil quality and soil carbon. Farmers and researchers want less tillage intensive practices, yet sufficient weed control. This webinar will focus on grain production in a system that relies on growing high-residue cover crops and using a roller-crimper for cover crop management. Bill Curran from Penn State University and Steven Mirsky with the USDA-ARS will discuss their research along with Bill Mason, an organic farmer collaborator from Maryland.
