2007-E2 European Farm Equipment and the Use of Cover Crops for Vegetable Crop Production
European Farm Equipment and the Use of Cover Crops for Vegetable Crop Production
Bary
Farm equipment and cover crop strategies may be two of the most important choices a farmer can make. Andy Bary of WSU Small Farms Program will give an overview of the different types of farm equipment used in Europe, as well as some hands-on research information on the use of spaders in vegetable production. Andy will then describe current research on cover cropping at the WSU – Puyallup Research Center, including nitrogen and weed dynamics when using rye hairy vetch mixtures and the use of legume intercropping in vegetable crops.
