Organic cropping

Organic Potato Production
Organic potato production generally fits into a planned rotation on an organic farm. It is possible for a specialist potato producer to grow organic potatoes on an organic farm by renting the land. In this situation all other organic standards will still need to be implemented and the producer will have to register with a certification body.
Organic Cereal Production
Organic standards now dictate that ruminant livestock must only be fed certified organic or in-conversion feed.
Green Manures
Green manures are crops grown specifically for building and maintaining soil fertility and structure, though they may also have other functions. They are normally incorporated back into the soil, either directly, or after removal and composting.
