Megan Wallendal – Managing Weeds in Organic Crop Rotation

Megan Wallendal shares her family farm’s experiences with weed management, from roller-crimping rye in the spring for beans to seeding non-vernalized rye in spring into beans – and more. She covers her family farm’s cultivation techniques, transitional plans and ways the family takes action to reduce weed pressures pre-plant, in-season and post-season. Megan also shares results from research trials she and her family have conducted on their organic ground.
