The University of Minnesota and University of New Hampshire are partnering to conduct on-farm research about the performance of legume cover crops in organic high tunnel vegetable rotations in the Midwest and Northeast regions. The goal of this project is to enable organic high tunnel growers to reduce their dependence on purchased composts and manures by using nitrogen-fixing legume cover crops to support soil fertility, productivity, and sustainability.
We are currently recruiting organic high tunnel growers to receive cover crop seed and participate in the on-farm research trials, which will begin in fall 2024 for overwinter cover crops or spring 2025 for spring/summer covers. We have two levels of participation available, so you can choose the level of commitment that works for you.
Join us for an information session on Monday, June 24th at 11:30 CDT, or Tuesday, July 30th at 6:30pm CDT on Zoom. During the webinar, you’ll learn more about participating in the trial and have opportunities to ask questions. You can also view a recording of our previous information session at this link.
Sign up to learn more about the trial at z.umn.edu/hightunnelcovercroptrial. We will send the webinar link and a calendar invitation to everyone who signs up. Hope to see you there!
