Regard to the list:

I have a friend who is interested in converting her farmland to organic and asked me for advice. She cannot do without the farm income, so going cold turkey like we did with the whole thing is probably out of the question. I suggested she might take 100 acres at a time (I don't know just exactly how much land she has, but it's several hundred acres I think), plant winter rye after harvest in the fall for plowdown in the spring and begin her rotation. Is there a book or publication to help guide someone in this situation? Thanks.
