Virtual Crop Tours - Available NOW!

We are trying something new at Fabian Seed Farms for 2012. It is our “Virtual Crop Tour”. Here you will find a selection of some of the varieties we grew this past year. You can see how they look on our farm, and it is our hope that you will get a sense of how the crop might perform for you, and if it is a fit for your operation or not. Click on a variety below to view the virtual crop tour. Have a look and give us some feedback what you think! ( A special thanks goes out to my son Andrew for editing and compiling these videos!)

Tillage Radishes

We are pleased to announce that we now are retailing “Tillage Radishes” for 2011. http://www.tillageradish.com/index.php For those who are looking at an option to summer fallow, or an alternative to deep ripping, these might be the solution for you. They are typically planted 60 days prior to a killing frost, and offer many benefits. Here are just a few:

• Extra long taproot penetrates where steel can’t reach, improving drainage and air movement in the soil
• Can be used for cover crop
• Absorbs nutrients from above and below the hardpan, releasing them the following year as the plant decays to make them available to the following crop
• Easily controlled- is killed by -10 frost, can be controlled by herbicides if desired.
• Increases yield on following crops the next year.
