Right now myself and 2 others are in the process
of helping another grower get her certification in this program. It is
much more user friendly than the USDA program.
The farm we are doing is over 88 arcres and it has
been wonderful to see how they are reclaiming dead fields with cover
crops. She had a photo that was taken from the air, and you could
see white areas where tobacco had been grown for
years!
Now the fields are lush with barley and crimson
clover! It will be mowed and left on the ground for mulch and they are
mowing when the seeds are ripe so it will self sow next year. It will take
about three years to make the soil useful.
