Steve and Nathan Riggers are fourth-generation farmers in the Nez Perce area of northern Idaho, where they face a short growing season and relatively high rainfall. Steve and Nathan have recently converted their entire 4,200 acres to direct seeding. They continuously crop annuals and perennials: winter wheat, spring wheat, spring barley, spring legumes, spring and winter canola, and bluegrass seed. Series made possible by grant from the USDA Western Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, with additional funds from STEEP III (Solutions to Economic and Environmental Problems). 8 pages.
