Alternative Crops
We offer a variety of resources to help Texans grow alternative crops like sunflowers, canola, hemp and black-eyed peas during the ever-changing production and market conditions. These alternative crops can be mixed into crop rotations to meet seasonal needs or help with weed control, soil building and other production needs.
