In July, the Manitoba Organic Alliance (MOA) held a cover crop farm tour at Faspa Farm near Manitou, Man.
Here, Karen Klassen, farmer and executive director of the MOA, talks about the cover crops that were planted at Faspa Farm, how the cover crops planted in 2021 fared during drought, her partnership with a local cattle producer to rotational graze a green manure field and how that relationship benefits not only his cattle, but the soil health and organic matter in her fields.
