Low-input, high rotation potato production with Anna Helmer, pt 2

This episode features part two of my conversation with Anna Helmer of Helmer’s Organic Farm. This conversation is meant to be a companion to a video that Organic BC produced about Helmer’s Organic Farm for its Organic Innovation Series.

This episode, we go into more detail about the five year rotation  that the Helmers use to produce their potatoes, and how this rotation allows them to farm more or less without any off-farm soil inputs. We’ll also cover a number of other topics that burn on the mind of a modern organic potato whisperer like Anna.
