Project Background
The purpose of the project is to demonstrate roller crimper technology followed by a vegetable transplanter to lessen time preparing fields and improving soil qulaity. The project intends to show significant savings of time and money by eliminating the need for plowing and harrowing vegetable fields. Soil Quality will be improved by leaving cover crop residue on the fields and using the mulch to eliminate multiple applications of herbicides.
