DESCRIPTION
I shared this presentation at the Environmentally Concerned Citizens meeting in Macomb IL on 4/7/2011
Citation preview
WIU/Allison Organic Research Farm in Roseville, IL
We mostly investigate management strategies for highly mechanized “organic” row crop systems that produce low-value grains for sale by the semi-load to grain merchants
but we are also starting to explore higher value crops
We are dabbling in a few other purple and gold crops!
“pepperonis” are slices of purple
fleshed sweet potato

curious about the
