Project Background
The purpose of this three-year grant is to demonstrate methods for the inter-seeding of cover crops in fields already established with vegetable crops. The applicant will modify a commercial seeder to allow for the inter-seeding of the cover crops. A number of demonstration farms will be used to show local farmers how the cover crops are seeded and the resulting benefits from this practice.
