Improving Cover Crop Management for Increased Production in Organic Farming
The Cover Crop Roller was developed by The Rodale Institute in an effort to develop practical methods of cover crop management to increase production in Reduced Tillage Organic Farming. The Cover Crop Roller is manufactured and sold by I & J Manufacturing, LLC of Gap, PA. The Cover Crop Roller mounts to the front of the tractor with a Three Point Hitch (available here), leaving room for the seeder at the back. This means you can knock down weed suppressing mats of cover crops and plant through it all in the same pass!

Read about Cover Crop Roller in a recent press release.
Farmers of organic farms and sustainable agriculture who already work with cover crops will quickly realize the time saving value of a front mounted Cover Crop Roller. Many conventional farmers recognize no till farming benefits and make the move to organic farming with this step saving tool. Or they can use the Cover Crop Roller as part of their conventional farming program to reduce the amount of herbicide sprays.
