Micro-irrigation is used to water a peach orchard in Livingston, CA on Thursday, July 23, 2015. Micro-irrigation uses micro-sprinklers spraying water from a low height for a distance of several feet. Numerous sprinklers keep water on the trees’, root zones, and water is sprayed at a predetermined rate to customize the efficient irrigation of each tree. USDA photo by Lance Cheung.

Aerial view of Mason Pecan orchards, in Fort Valley GA, on May 8, 2019. Two years ago, owner Thomas Mason reached out to U.S. Department of Agriculture to address the farming challenges that resulted from Hurricane Irma. 800 of 2,400 10-year old trees were downed by the wind. USDA Farm Service Agency’s Tas Smith was there to help. The orchard had to be cleared of debris before harvesting the surviving trees. The challenge is raising saplings alongside newly mature 12-year-old trees that require different levels of nutrients and care. This orchard’s yield will be cut by 1/3 until the saplings reach 12 years of age. Along the rows of trees and cover crop, burn sites, where tree cuttings were disposed of, are still seen in the orchard. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
Micro irrigation is used to water the Mota Ranch’s 36 acre almond orchard in Livingston, CA on Thursday, July 23, 2015.

Since Ioka Farms planted cover crops in their hazelnut orchards, they have experienced significantly less soil erosion compared to bare hazelnut orchards in the valley. They also save on fertilizer applications because the cover crop serves as a natural nutrient booster. In the first couple of years since planting the fescue as a cover crop, they were able to harvest it while the hazelnut trees were getting established—though it required some careful maneuvering of large machinery in between the hazelnut rows. This option provided an additional income source for a few seasons before the hazelnuts were ready for their first harvest. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers technical assistance to farmers and ranchers interested in using soil health practices such as cover crops to build resiliency and sustainability into their operations.

Thursday, March 29, the Corvallis Plant Materials Center hosted an Organic Cover Crop Workshop. Participants were treated to an in-class discussion on cover crop varieties and selection, followed by a field tour. Demonstrations included cover crop incorporation and equipment, as well as a presentation by OSU Extension on cover crop sampling. The tour closed out with a guide of the PMC’s cover crop trials by PMC Manager Annie Young-Mathews. Overall, the crop trials were a success, with high performing varieties including hairy vetch, cereal ryes and oats. Over 25 participants were in attendance, marking another success in Oregon's effort to promote soil health and organic production. Contact Annie Young-Mathews for questions regarding cover crop trials and other cover crop related questions.
