Western Producer: Corn intercrops can work
January 16, 2025 —

She and her research team of graduate students have been working for the last number of years on the intercropping of corn for fall and winter grazing.
“Realistically, we think of inter-cropping as a practice of growing two or more forages or crops together in the same field,” she said at the Western Canada Soil Health and Grazing Conference in Edmonton late last year.
