Growers and producers from Loudoun and Fauquier counties and from West Virginia learned about rotational crop production last week from John Teasdale, a research leader at the 7,000-acre U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Station in Beltsville, Md.

Teasdale studies organic rotational production of large crops including hay, corn and soybeans.

The Forum for Rural Innovation sponsored the Nov. 5 trip as a precursor to the annual forum in Winchester, set for March 12, 2010. The trip was designed to give the 40-plus visitors insight into the research at Beltsville that can benefit local growers.
