Field Notes August 2021

We’ve been beating the drum about warm-season cover crops for a while, so we’re also happy to share new research showing that intercropping cowpeas with vegetable crops can boost both yields and pollinator numbers.
Speaking of pollinators, David Redhage has a heartening report on habitat increasing right on the ranch.
