Most farmers plant cover crops in the fall, and let the winter terminate them before they go to seed. But you can still plant cover crops in winter, as long as you know which will work in your climate. Plant these five cover crops this month for early spring benefits.

When winter is halfway over, growing out of the elements is the only option for many farmers. Here, we share how to use a greenhouse to grow what the climate doesn’t allow and keep the revenue flowing.

Also called agroforestry, forest farming is a great way to work within your environmental parameters and utilize the tree canopy to produce more for your farm. Especially for those who live in forested areas, this practice enhances farm output without compromising the ecosystem.

For farms in colder areas, starting seeds in time for the spring market requires a significant amount of time and indoor space. Winter sowing is a method that can be done outdoors and gives seedlings a stronger constitution as they mature. Here, we share plants that thrive when winter sown.
