A detailed field trial profile page from the North Coast Soil Hub documenting the multi-year replicated cover crop and tillage management trial at Ferrington Vineyard in Boonville, Anderson Valley. Covers the vineyard’s background (167 acres, ~76 acres in vines, 63 acres of sheep-grazed oak-grassland hillsides), the trial design comparing multiple plant cover systems and tillage regimes, soil health variables monitored, project partners (USDA-NRCS, Mendocino County RCD), and Norman Kobler’s role as an early North Coast Soil Hub participant with a Carbon Farm Plan. Also references integrated sheep grazing for cover crop management.
