Webinar: Crop Diversification in the Midwest Improves Soil Health and Farm Profitability

Corn and soybeans are the primary cash crops in the Midwest but this hasn’t always been the case. Millions of acres of small grains were a common sight in the mid-1900’s but this has changed dramatically, and not for the better. In this webinar, we will examine how the conventional corn-soybean rotation is detrimental to soil health and limits the farm’s profitability. We will also discuss the Midwest Organic Center’s on-going study that demonstrates the benefits of diversifying crop rotations by integrating small grains, pulses, oilseeds, and livestock, thus improving the health and sustainability of the farm’s soil and budget.
