Join American Farmland Trust for a webinar on Cut and Carry for Weed Management and Fertility in Organic Cropping Systems. Also known as ‘transferred mulch,’ “cut and carry” refers to the practice of growing, harvesting and moving loads of mulch from one part of the farm (or a neighboring farm) to another, usually as loose greenchop or ensiled material.
