Here you can see a fall seeded field of Triticale at Mountain Roots Produce. This photo was taken on June 27th, the northern portion of this field has been flail mowed and incorporated in with the disc. The remaining cover crop will be managed in the coming days.
One of the ways we are building soil health here in Southwest Colorado is by growing cover crops in our fields. Cover crops keep the soil protected and helps us build organic matter. This is a fall seeded field of triticale. Mountain Roots plans to grow a summer crop of buckwheat ahead of this season's garlic planting... if the irrigation season allows. Time will tell!
