Charlie and the Pumpkin Patch
October 24, 2024
As the seasons change, Minnesotans across the state venture out to pumpkin patches and apple orchards for fun, fall activities. At the SROC, fall kicks off harvest season of our research and production fields. In recent years, however, several fields at the SROC are dotted with orange and white pumpkins instead of rows of soybean and corn. Charlie Rohwer, SROC horticultural researcher, is studying the effect of interseeding clover and pumpkin varieties for increased profitability and soil health.
