Trialing Summer Cover Crops for Organic No-Till Broccoli

In 2020 we received a Southern SARE grant to explore Summer Cover Crops for Organic No-till Broccoli. Using 5 treatments, we investigated the best mix of summer cover crops (sunn hemp, japanese millet, soybeans and buckwheat) for a roller-crimper no-till fall broccoli production. Year 1 of the experiment did not go exactly as planned (challenges with transplant production and timing of the crimping) but we are excited to refine the study and hopefully have improved outcomes. If we find a successful mix, this will bring our no-till crops to 75% of our total production, increasing our ecological and financial sustainability as a farm business!
