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.

Seth Kroeck has been working and managing organic farms in the Northeast and California for the past eight years. He is currently working on his own farm, Crystal Spring Community Farm in Brunswick, Maine, with his wife, Maura, and their son, Griffin.
