Mustard gains ground as a strategic rotation crop in Idaho potato production

Idaho potato growers are adopting mustard rotations to improve soil health, suppress pests, reduce chemical inputs and boost profitability, all while meeting processor sustainability goals.
February 20, 2026
Kacy Gehring

Potato growers across North America are increasingly turning to mustard as a rotational crop, but nowhere is the opportunity more compelling than in Idaho. As the second-largest mustard-producing state in the U.S. and the nation’s leading potato producer, Idaho holds a unique position where mustard and potatoes can work jointly to deliver sustainable market advantages for both crops.

Interseeding for success: Timing, equipment and species selection

Steven Hines, a University of Idaho Extension educator, has led extensive interseeding and cover crop research. He emphasizes starting with a clear goal – whether improving soil health, reducing erosion, conserving moisture or producing extra forage.

Pastures need TLC

Pasture decline is typically linked to imbalances in soil fertility, grazing interval length and species composition. Quantifying rest periods, monitoring residual heights and correcting nutrient deficiencies can rapidly improve stand vigor. This article outlines the core management levers that most influence forage yield, persistence and nutrient-use efficiency.
January 20, 2026
Lynn Grooms

A warm, dry fall followed by sudden near‑record snowfall has left many Midwest pastures at higher risk for winterkill.

Working lands, working options: Expanding forage flexibility in the Upper Colorado River Basin

Forage crops in the Upper Colorado River Basin face mounting stress from aridification and shifting runoff. Researchers are measuring consumptive water use with evapotranspiration modeling and sensor networks to guide resilient forage strategies.
December 29, 2025
Brett Bovee, Perry Cabot, Aaron Derwingson, Hannah Holm, Tessa Peters, and Katie Russell

Forage crops in the Upper Colorado River Basin face mounting stress from aridification and shifting runoff. Evapotranspiration modeling and in‑field sensor measurements are helping producers adapt forage systems to limited water supplies.
