Organic No-Till

Farm Tour

Tuckaway Farm

 Lee, NH

This tour will be focused on organic no till equipment and limited/no till establishment of covercrops to build soil organic matter.    Small grain and oilseed on-farm variety selection as well as harvesting and on-farm processing of grains and oilseeds for feed and fuel will also be discussed.  On-farm biodiesel production and use will be briefly covered as well.

Dorn Cox has been growing organic grains and oilseeds for 7 years and researching varieties, cultivation and harvest practices.  He helped found the Great Bay Grain Cooperative with nine other farms.  They have helped build a local knowledge base around local grain and oil seed production and processing.  Dorn is currently enrolled in the Natural Resources & Earth Systems Science PhD program at UNH focusing on carbon policy and soil based carbon sequestration. Four generations of his family currently live on two farms, Tuckaway Farm and Sheltering Rock Farm.  Tuckaway Farm is a diversified mixed power (draft horse and tractor) family farm with hay, timber, small fruits and berries and a market garden with direct sales.
