For example, close an area down after a spring veggie crop and put it into a summer cover and then till that in and then maybe an overwintered fallow with nothing or growing a frost sensitive cover in the summer that frost kills to a mat for the over wintering. The possibilities are endless.

The other day when we were discussing reasons to farm I should have mentioned kids. Nothing beats having a job you can take your kids to every day of the year! It trumps everything else. I am curious what time in the fall you plant your cover crop and if you pasture it at all in the fall/winter/spring? Or is it all for green manure? Great shot.
