Brassicas

There has been a growing interest in the use of brassicas, mainly mustards, as a rotation crop.  In the past, more farmers were growing brassica crops such as broccoli or cauliflower.  These crops acted as a beneficial rotation crop with lettuce. 

With growth in new markets, such as organics, as well as a diversification in crops being grown, farmers are now using short-term brassica rotation crops to compliment their plantings of spinach, spring mix, carrots, and numerous other commodities.
