Struggling to plan crop rotations on a diverse farm? Learn practical strategies from expert Chuck Mohler, author of Crop Rotation on Organic Farms. This webinar offers tools, insights, and real-world solutions to help build healthy, resilient organic systems.
Planning crop rotations on diversified farms is a complex but essential component of sustainable organic agriculture. In this webinar, crop and soil scientist Chuck Mohler—coeditor and principal author of Crop Rotation on Organic Farms: A Planning Manual—shares insights from years of research, collaboration with experienced farmers, and hands-on problem solving.
Participants will learn why crop rotation is vital for managing weeds, nutrients, and diseases, and how diverse farms—with anywhere from 8 to 30+ crops—navigate this challenge. Drawing from farmer case studies and tools developed through the Northeast Organic Network, Mohler presents a practical framework for rotation planning, field assessment, and adaptive management strategies.
Participate in this training to learn about the many variables to consider when developing crop rotations on diversified operations. Emphasis will be placed on considerations for weed, pest, and nutrient management, based on examples and input for farmers.
