Cover Crop Conversations at Hoffman Farm Field Day
August 20, 2024
Join us, OGRAIN, Paul Hoffman, and IDEA Farm Network at Hoffman Organic Farm. We’ll focus on Paul’s organic field crops, but this family farm has much more to offer including organic vegetables and grass-fed lamb and beef. Our cover crop conversations will include frost seeded red clover post wheat harvest and cash cover cropping for buckwheat seed production while including pearl millet and sunn hemp. We’ll look at using solar corridors for growing winter squash interseeded into corn. We’ll also spend some time talking about our Organic Grain Mentorship Program with Paul and his mentee, Vickie. Our mentorship program pairs experienced organic farmers with experienced conventional farmers looking to transition acres into organic to facilitate peer support and information sharing.
