Did You Do Any Multi-Cropping in 2021?

About 20 years ago, Ron, Robert and Earl Rayner of A Tumbling T Ranches in Goodyear, Ariz., began developing a no-till double-cropped cotton and wheat planting as part of an overall crop rotation they follow. This video chronicles their progress and highlights the success they've had in managing risks, sustaining productivity, economizing on water use, improving soil function, reducing soil temperature and developing a successful reduced-disturbance production system.

Experts from Kansas State University Extension discuss potential options for double-cropping after wheat this year, and share tips for weed control to help make it a success.

USDA scientists have found that the flowering period of the camelina plant can provide honey bees and other insects with a critical, early-spring source of nectar and pollen.

Cover crops are usually touted for their contributions to soil health. But for no-tillers with livestock, covers can provide an immediate benefit to the bottom line by also serving as forage.
