On the cover: Transition to organic cereal grain production can be a difficult economic proposition. To enable market flexibility, an intercropping strategy was used where spring cereals – spring wheat or two types of spring triticale – were grown with spring pea. A custom interrow sweep was combined with a row guidance hitch to facilitate removal of one or the other crop, as needed. Here, the interrow cultivator is removing the spring pea from the spring wheat while also managing weeds.
