Course: SLF 114 Introduction to Organic Practices

Unit 5 Assignment

Week 5 Assignment
Crop Plan & Field Map

60 points.

In Week 2, you were asked to decide on 3 vegetables/herbs that you wanted to grow on your real or imagined organic farm and how much of each you wanted to produce for market.

For this assignment you will draw out the field maps of your farm and how the crops will be planted the first year.  Be very specific and clear because this is what you will be including in your final packet to the certifying agency.

The field map can be computer generated if you have the software and the skill or hand drawn using graph paper and a ruler and be sure to label everything.  If you are hand drawing it, you can take a photo of it or scan it. This is the file you can place in the drop box.

Along with your field map, include a detailed explanation of the items on the map and submit both to the dropbox by Sunday night.

The map should include:

- length and width of the rows
- buffer strips required if adjacent to non-organic property
- buildings
- water supplies
- packing shed
- roads, etc.

Submit your report in the Dropbox found on the course home page.
