We all know that small grain crops play an important role in crop rotation, and these panelists have been growing different types of grains in their farms and in different ways. We’ll hear about rye, wheat, barley and ancient grains, as well as the relay- and double- cropping with soybean research being done through the Living Lab–Ontario initiative.
