PROJECT SUMMARY
Crisafulli: Cover crop seed
SITE SUMMARY
Deer Run Farm operates on 1,000 acres of hay fields. Approximately 250 acres are double-cropped (500 acres worth of seed) with winter rye and sorghum before going into new hay fields each year.
OPERATION TYPE
Cropland
SITE FOCUS
Cover crop
SITE RESOURCE CONCERN
As old hay fields are renovated, cover crop seed is needed to improve soil health and suppress weeds before fields are put back into hay.
RESOURCE CONCERNS
Erosion
SOLUTION
Cover crop seed will help cover bare soil while fields are taken out of hay production for a year and improve soil health.
