Exploring Rotational Grazing at Meeting Place Organic Farm
Although grazing animals plays a vital role in rejuvenating the ecosystems in which they live, modern grazing practices have led to overgrazing that clears the land of vegetation and degrades the health of our soils. How can farmers tap into the environmental benefits that grazing animals have always had? Follow Katrina McQuail from Meeting Place Organic Farm as she explores her methods of rotational grazing and their benefits to her soil, her animals and her business.
Exploring Cover Cropping at Harrow Organic Farm
Cover cropping is the practice of planting crops that will not be harvested in a field that would otherwise be left bare. Cover cropping is an excellent way for farmers to rebuild their soil health, protect waterways, break up weed and pest cycles, and improve local biodiversity. Join Dean Martin from Harrow Organic Farms as he explores the benefits of cover crops and learn from his suggestions for how beginners can get started.
