Continued Conversations with Cecarelli Farms

As illustrated by Cecarelli Farms, there are many actions a farm can take to lessen the impacts – or even take advantage of - climate trends. Through conversations with farm manager, William DellaCamera, some actions Cecarelli Farms has taken include the use of deep zone tillage to combat soil erosion from heavy rains, installation of a SDI system to more efficiently target water to crop roots (and reduce weed germination, labor, and other resource inputs), adjustment of planting decisions in anticipation of a lengthier harvest window for some crops due to later frosts dates (but with a reduced labor force), decisions based on data from an on-farm weather station, and being responsive to both weather events and market demands in order to conserve both time and resources.
