Three farmers with diversified annual vegetable growing systems will develop an in-row cover crop living mulch system designed to sustain production levels and avoid using outside inputs. The implications of such a system will ideally address the issue of managing an annual vegetable production system that will sustain limited-resource, small farms in Northern New Mexico.
