Concord, MA – In the age of climate change, it’s more important than ever to be able to farm proof your food. That means ensuring that your crops are resistant to pests and diseases, so that you can produce healthy food without worrying about crop failure. There are a few things you can do to farm proof your Concord:

  1. Use organic methods whenever possible. Organic farming practices help protect crops against pests and diseases, and often use less chemical pesticides and fertilizers. This is especially important when it comes to foods like Concord grapes, which are particularly vulnerable to pests and diseases.
  2. Grow a diverse variety of crops. A diverse crop rotation helps prevent pest outbreaks by alternating different types of plants in the same area. This also helps keep soil nutrients balanced, preventing problems like nutrient depletion or soil erosion.
  3. Keep an eye on weather patterns. Weather patterns can have a big impact on how susceptible your Concord crops are to pests and diseases. If you see signs of an impending pest or disease outbreak, take action quickly by rotating your crops or using organic methods as recommended above. ..
